A bridge too far?

A little something amazing for your Saturday morning...



According to the BBC
China has opened the world's longest sea bridge to general traffic.

The bridge spans 42.4km (26.3 miles) to connect the eastern coastal city of Qingdao to the suburb of Huangdao, in Jiaozhou Bay. It is expected to carry more than 30,000 cars a day, and will reportedly cut the commuting time between Qingdao and Huangdao by up to 30 minutes.

The bridge would easily cross the English Channel, which is 32km wide at its narrowest point.
