China Opens The World Longest Bridge by billante(m): 5:58am On Jul 01, 2011
Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay Bridge is seen in Qingdao, Shandong province, in this general view taken June 27, 2011. The world's longest sea bridge spanning Jiaozhou Bay of Qingdao City, Shandong Province, opened on Thursday, June 30.

The bridge is 42 km (26 miles) long, Xinhua News Agency reported. Picture taken on June 27, 2011.


The Third (3rd) Mainland Bridge is about 11.8km and the longest of three bridges connecting Lagos Island to the mainland. The other bridges are Eko and Carter bridges.

The Third Mainland Bridge apart from being the longest bridge in Nigeria is also the longest bridge in Africa.

We try shaa!

Is Ikorudu to VI even up to 10kilometer for 4th mainland bridge?

If Chinese were 9jarian govt, the project outlay for the bridge would have been embezzled
or used to pay Govt officers salaries.

What kind of emergency plans are available for this bridge. I would hate to be in the middle of this bridge if God forbid, a natural disaster (tsunami, earthquake, etc) where to happen. Imagine if the bridge is backed up all the way. Na die oo

You are uninformed.Do you think anything about Chinese is fake?My friend wake up and take a trip to China,then you will completely abandon that stereotype.Chinese built the fastest train in the world at the moment,they built the longest wall in the world and it has been there for more than 2,000 years hasn't collapsed ,now they built the longest bridge in the world and you are saying it will not last for 5 years.Guy wake up!
Re: China Opens The World Longest Bridge by odumchi: 4:38am On Jul 02, 2011
I'm still waiting for th gov to fix the Nkana bridge. For 43 years it has only been wooden planks nailed on damaged iron poles tied with rope but still hundreds of motorists risk their lives on it.

Re: China Opens The World Longest Bridge by hugooh42(m): 7:10am On Jul 02, 2011
It's a know fact now that Chinese kids do better than American kids in Maths and Science,this is of course from recently released reports.Chinese parents invest so much in education of their wards,enrolling them in after school hours lessons like arts and crafts,piano,martial arts, English,science lessons etc. The kids are taught to work hard from young age.They hardly have time to play,with homework piled- up.And it's projected that Chinese economy will overtake the US economy by the year 2030.So we are seeing the next superpower in the making.
Re: China Opens The World Longest Bridge by hugooh42(m): 7:23am On Jul 02, 2011
While the USA are battling with aging infrastructure,for example JFK international airport which looks like an airport found in third world country.Try visiting Beijing or Shanghai airports you will see the state of the art airport which can only be compared to the likes found in Dubai and Qatar.There is massive investment in infrastructure here in China,railway,highrise/skyscrapers,bridges,schools,roads etc.So the Chinese are no pushovers in terms of constructions.Don't forget they are the ones handling about 90% of constructions be it railways,refineries,highrise buildingsetc in Africa.

My Man, Chinese don't produce FAKE. You're viewing this thing from the importation made in our Country. Do you why, we Nigerians ask them to produce low quality goods because we love it. Google Chinese Economy and see for yourself.
Re: China Opens The World Longest Bridge by 3kay945(m): 7:43am On Jul 02, 2011
China is full of human, they will naturally be making process and new waves unlike nigeria where people are like .
Good for them.

Your comment sounds like your user name. you should try to learn how to appreciate good things. If we can't do it then lets give praise to those that are doing it.
You need to take a tour to China and see things for yourself. Our colonial masters has nothing to offer than to steal our resources and go to war.

Re: China Opens The World Longest Bridge by Mobinga: 8:48am On Jul 02, 2011
And the power gradually, shifts from USA to China.

Using war/force works in the short run. It won't last.
