While we pay the fidder for the 8 year Bush dance, the Chinese Socialist set a new record in their country they should be proud of. I am reminded of other feats in building that are occurring around the World for countries who have no need for Wars and Nation building to prop up their economies. And you should wonder why the Billionaires of America, hung on capitalisms taxes, have come forward with no new visions of grandeur. Why Thrump is building his golfing resort in Ireland.
The conservative answer in America is always the same stupidty: IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT HERE, LEAVE!!! It is not about what can we do to make America a better place. Not what can they do for America. No, it is always about what can America do for them.
London, Jan 9 : China has set a new record after constructing the world's longest bridge over water.
The newly constructed 26.4 miles-long Qingdao Haiwan Bridge would easily cross the English Channel and is almost 3 miles longer than the previous record-holder, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in the American state of Louisiana, reports the Telegraph.
The vast structure links the center of the booming port city of Qingdao in eastern China's Shandong Province with the suburb of Huangdao, spanning the wide blue waters of Jiaozhou Bay.
Built in just four years at a cost of 5.5 billion pounds, the sheer scale of the bridge reveals the advances made by Chinese engineers in recent years.
The six-lane road bridge is supported by more than 5,200 columns and was designed by the Shandong Gausu Group.
When it opens to traffic later this year, the bridge is expected to carry over 30,000 cars a day and will cut the commute between the city of Qingdao and the sprawling suburb of Huangdao by between 20 and 30 minutes.
At least 10,000 workers toiled in two teams around the clock to build the bridge, which was constructed from opposite ends and connected in the middle in the last few days.
