World's longest bridge opens to public in China
The world's longest bridge over sea water opened to general traffic on Thursday in China's eastern coastal city of Qingdao. The Qingdao Haiwan Bridge, with a total length of 42.4 kilometres (26.4 miles) would easily cross the English Channel and is almost three miles longer than the previous record-holder, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in the American state of Louisiana.
