Comments on: Big In China: World’s Longest Sea Bridge And Biggest Building http://www.anorak.co.uk/strange-but-true/183522.html Tabloid news for broadsheet readers Sun, 20 Jul 2008 14:32:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: jojo http://www.anorak.co.uk/strange-but-true/183522.html#comment-304712 jojo Fri, 02 May 2008 04:28:35 +0000 http://www.anorak.co.uk/strange-but-true/183522.html#comment-304712 I think you made a mistake.....the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway Bridge is the world's longest bridge which is in Louisiana, United States, not China. Perhaps you meant the new The Hangzhou Bay Bridge in Hangzhou, China? It's the world's longest sea-spanning bridge, still short of the world record for bridges in general.

Chesapeake Bay is the busiest shipping bay in the world and the shipping traffic is dense and heavy-duty and the Bridge-Tunnel provides clear and deep shipping channels for the sea-traffic while whisking the road traffic across the bay in the most impressive way. That middle section of elevated road bridge rising from under the waves is almost surreal. Engineering can be amazing! Just wannad to share that withya.
