The longest bridge in the world, the 55 km long bridge connecting the Chinese port city of Zhuhai to Hong Kong opened on Monday to the world. Xhuhai Hong Kong bridge. Built at a cost of $20 billion, it is said to boost Chinese and HongKong economies by as much as one trillion US$ by 2025. The 7 km long underwater passage at a depth of 44 m enables free passage of ships through the water above.
This 55 km long, $20 billion bridge reduces travel between mainland China and Hong Kong from 4 to half an hour.
China has taken up this technological marvel and now the need for air travel reduces between the two cities. Can we effectively use such massive projects to ease transportation across islands ?
