Wow. :shock:

You wouldn't want to take the wrong turn and end up on that... would take forever to find a turn point!

Amazing piece of innovation. Also extremely elegant. I'd be happy to look at that out my bedroom window. Naked, of course.

Yeah but you couldn't finance it and would end up borrowing yet more money from China. In effect building them a bridge to the moon.

Don't think I'd ever use it. I struggle to get over the Severn bridge.

That's a marvel of technology and calculation for sure!To be able to build such a long structure starting from 2 sides and having them meet without even being a few millimeters off is a mind boggling feat of engineering.However I wouldn't want to be short-taken in a traffic jam after just getting on it.

Seems a long way to go to make a journey 19 miles shorter.
Wouldn't it have been easier to just add more lanes to the existing road to relieve traffic if everyone is in such a hurry?

I saw somewhere on cable that there were more Buick's sold in China than in the US during the same period. That sais a lot for a culture that was on two wheal vehicles just a short time ago. I guess that is what happens when you Educate your masses. :)
