Jiaozhou Bay Bridge aerial footage – Click above to watch videos after the jump
China has just opened up a new roadway that stretches for a distance of 26.4 miles. Not impressed? That's 26.4 miles over water. It's called the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge, and stretches for a span longer than a marathon. The bridge took four years to build, opened on June 30 and was then recognized by Guinness as the longest roadway bridge over water.
You would think that a 26-mile bridge would be used to shave serious commuting time off an otherwise long journey. Strangely, the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge only saves commuters 19 miles and 20 minutes of travel time.
