When completed in 2008, this major bridge was named the longest bridge in the world but was surpassed by several other bridges in 2010 as part of the Beijing-Shanghai Railway Project. Construction of the Beijing Grand Bridge in China was also completed in 2010, paving the way for its opening in 2011.
