China Officially Launched the World’s Longest Sea Bridge Linking Hong Kong and Macau to the Mainland

The world's longest sea-crossing opened in southern China on Tuesday morning in an architectural and political feat that spans 34-miles and links Hong Kong, Macau and the mainland.

After two years of delays and reportedly more than one billion dollars over budget, the mega-bridge was inaugurated by Chinese President Xi Jinping in an opening ceremony in Zhuhai.
