Hey there! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to cross a super long bridge over the sea? Well, in China, a brand new bridge called the Huangmao Sea Channel Bridge just opened! 🌉
This amazing bridge connects two big cities, Zhuhai and Jiangmen, in China’s Guangdong Province. Before, traveling between these cities took over an hour. Now, with the new bridge, it takes only about 30 minutes! How cool is that?
The bridge is 31 kilometers long—that’s like having 280 soccer fields lined up end to end! It has six lanes, and cars can drive on it at speeds up to 100 kilometers per hour.
Construction of the bridge started on June 6, 2020, and it took four and a half years to build. That’s a lot of hard work and planning!
The Huangmao Sea Channel Bridge is part of a bigger plan to connect cities in the Greater Bay Area. This area includes special places like Hong Kong and Macao, and it’s becoming one of the world’s most exciting regions! 🚀
China wants the Greater Bay Area to be a super cool place with lots of opportunities. Building bridges like this one helps people travel faster and brings everyone closer together.
So next time you think about bridges, remember the Huangmao Sea Channel Bridge—a mega bridge that’s making a big difference in how people connect! Maybe one day you’ll get to cross it too! 😊
