May 22 - Structural work on Hangzhou Bay Cross-sea Bridge, the longest of
its kind in the world, was completed on Monday in east China's Zhejiang
Province, 189 days ahead of schedule.
Xinhua News Agency reports the last piece of the 70-meter huge box girder
was installed Monday, marking the completion of the bridge's concrete
superstructure.
The bridge starts in Ningbo City and ends at Jiaxing City in Zhejiang
Province. It spans a total length of 36 kilometers. Total investment in
it has reached 11.8 billion yuan (about 1.5 billion US dollars).
Although structural construction has now been completed, the road surface
has yet to be laid-down. With suspension cables added, it should be ready
for service in 2008.
Hangzhou Bay is an inlet of the East China Sea, bordered by Shanghai and
east China's Zhejiang province.
