World’s Longest Over-Water Bridge of the Day: Succeeding the 24-mile-long Lake Pontchartrain Causeway as the world’s longest bridge over open water, China’s Jiaozhou Bay bridge, which opened today after four years of construction, clocks in at a reststop-demanding 26.3 miles.

The $2.3 billion bridge links the port city of Qingdao to the island of Huangdao, trimming drive time by up to 30 minutes.

According to the BBC, the bridge is six miles longer than the English Channel at it narrowest point.
