The incredible £6.2bn bridge that’s the world’s longest | World | News
The world is full of incredible infrastructure projects from incredible bridges to the longest skyscrapers. Some regions are more famous for their rapid development than others, thinking of countries such as Saudi Arabia or Dubai in the Middle East.
Another nation known for its infrastructure that leaves the jaw is China and the longest bridge in the world can be found. Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge is officially the longest bridge in the world and extends a large 164.8 kilometers (102.4 miles) in Jiangsu, China.
Beijing-Şangay is part of the high-speed railway, and since it was officially known in 2011, Guinness has organized a world record.
