But don't think about crossing it on foot,
miles long, it is five miles further than
the distance between Dover and Calais !!!
The Jiaozhou Bay Bridge links China's
eastern port city of Qingdao to the
offshore island, Huang Dao.
A bridge over misty waters : The immense structure which is supported by more than
5,000 pillars.
Engineering feat : The vast bridge, the largest cross-ocean bridge in the world,
took four years to build.
Lengthy : The bridge stretches into the distance further than the eye can see and right,
the first few cars roll out across the surface.
Open road : Drivers pass through the mist as they make some of the first passes over the 110ft wide bridge which is longer than any others of its kind.
Don't keep me hanging : The suspension beams form an imposing sight as the reach through the clouds and look down upon colourful flags marking the bridge's grand opening.
Record breaker : The Jiaozhou Bay Bridge, spanning 26.4 miles between Qingdao and Huang Dao, will open for traffic today.
Impressive : Testing on the bridge was completed on Monday, and it is expected to be opened to traffic for the first time today.
A driver's dream : Many miles of fresh untouched tarmac stretch from Qingdao to Huang Dao.
