Now Open - World’s Longest Sea-Crossing Bridge

A new world record was broken last week when a bridge connecting Hong Kong to Zhuhai and Macao saw its initial trip. The 34 mile bridge will be the world's longest and includes multiple viaducts, three cable-stayed bridges, and a 4 mile tunnel. Currently, the ferry connecting the cities takes more than 90 minutes, but the bridge will slash that travel time to 30 minutes. Take a look at some gorgeous images of the transportation system in this Asia Times article. - Shannon Warchol, PE - DTC Civil Structural Instructor
