worlds longest roadway
bridge over water.
The bridge has a width of 115
feet and length of 87,621 feet(
41.58 kilometers ).
The bridge is a triple-ended
bridge.
The bridge connects the
eastern coastal city
Quigdao to the suburb of
Huangdao island.
The Jiaozhou Bridge cost
$10 billion yuan ( 1.5 billion
U.S dollars )
The bridge took almost 4
years to build .
The bridge is supported by
more than 5,000 pillars.
The bridge was designed
by Shandong Gaosu
Group.
Construction of the bridge
began in late 2007 and was
finished in early 2011.
The bridge opened on June
30, 2011 .
The bridge employed at least 10,000 people.
No one died during the construction of the bridge.
The construction used 450,000 tons of steel and 2.3 million cubic meters (81×106 cu ft) of concrete.
Concerns regarding the bridge's safety were raised when Chinese media reported that the bridge was opened with faulty elements, such as incomplete crash-barriers, missing lighting rods and loose nuts on guard-rails, with workers stating that it would take two months before finishing all of the projects related to the bridge.
