Hangzhou Bay Bridge
Chinas Hangzhou Bay Trans-oceanic Bridge is one
of the masterpieces of modern architecture. It is
the longest sea-crossing bridge in the world - 36
kilometres - and comes with a price tag of 11.8
billion yuan (US1.70 billion). Opened in May
2008, some 600 Chinese engineers, draftsmen,
architects and designers spent 9 years on
planning, preparation and design of the bridge.
It is an S-shaped stayed-cable bridge linking
Ningbo's Cixi county in the south to Jiaxing in
the north. The Bridge has a 6-lane motorway which
shaves 120 kms off the driving journey between
Shanghai and Ningbo. There are also 2 extra
lanes reserved for backup and emergency use.

A Service Centre for visitors and tired drivers
Hotel Observatory tower in middle of Hangzhou
Bay Bridge
What is so unique about the Hangzhou Bay Bridge
is that it has a 10,000 sq. metre service centre
right in its middle. The centre has a restaurant,
petrol kiosk, hotel, conference rooms, and a
lookout tower from where visitors can observe
the extraordinary tide and waves of Hangzhou Bay.
The service centre is like an artificial island
which rests on piers to avoid obstructing the sea
current in the Bay. Two public parks are also
being planned on either side of the bridge.
Hangzhou Bay is known for its tides and waves
- a natural wonder and a major tourist
attraction. The waves move at speeds reaching 30
kph and at times, sound like the roar of
thunder. The S-shaped bridge was specially
designed and built to withstand typhoon and
hurricane weather.
