The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and associated tunnels cross the Lingdingyang waterway. It is to be opened next year after the construction of 22.9 kilometers of bridge, four tunnels and four artificial islands. The 55-km structure is the longest of its kind in the world and is being built with 420,000 metric tons of steel, enough to build 60 Eiffel Towers. The HZM Bridge is a marvel of modern engineering, one that is designed to last for 120 years-longer than any other bridge on the Chinese mainland, he added. [Photo/Xinhua]
