Imagine Being On A Bridge So Long That You Can Drive For Hours Without Seeing The End. China Is Now Home To The Longest Bridge In The World, The Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge. This Incredible Structure Cost US$ 8.5 Billion And Stretches An Impressive 164.8 Km, Connecting Five Cities In China.

Before The Construction Of The Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge, Traveling In The Eastern Coastal Region Of China, Especially Between Major Cities Like Shanghai And Nanjing, Was A Major Challenge. The Geography Of The Region, With Its Low-Altitude Rice Fields And An Extensive Network Of Rivers, Lakes, And Canals, Made The Construction Of Railways A Difficult Task. The Soft And Heavy Silt Soil Is Not Ideal For Stable Structures, Especially A High-Speed Railway.

To Address These Issues, China Decided To Build An Elevated Bridge, Creating A Stable And High-Quality Railway Line That Does Not Interfere With The Delicate Soil Or The Local Communities And Their Farmland.

The Construction Of The Longest Bridge In The World In China Began In April 2006 And Was Completed In June 2011

The Project In China Required An Investment Of About US$ 8.5 Billion, With An Approximate Cost Of US$ 51 Million Per Kilometer. The Bridge Is A Viaduct Structure Composed Of Several Interconnected Sections, Designed To Overcome The Unique Challenges Of The Varied Terrain Of The Yangtze River Delta.

Making It Possible To Travel 1,000 Km Between Beijing And Shanghai In China In Less Than Five Hours. This Bridge Significantly Reduces The Travel Time Between Ningbo And Jiaxing From 4.5 Hours To About Two Hours, Improving Daily Commutes, Business, And The Overall Connectivity Of The Region.

In Addition To Improving Transportation, The Bridge Plays A Crucial Role In The Economic Development Of Southern Jiangsu, A Vibrant Area That Contributes Significantly To China’s Total Import And Export Volume.

The Opening Of The Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge Marks A Milestone In Engineering And Global Transportation, Demonstrating China’s Ability To Overcome Complex Technical Challenges And Drive Its Economic Growth With Innovative Infrastructure.

O nosso país com toda riqueza que ja teve e ainda tem e se os governantes não fossem tão corruptos o Brasil estaria em alto nível de grande potencial em todo que possa imaginar.

Outro grande problema de uma construção dessas em nosso país é que seria orçada em 8 bilhões, mas custaria ao final, no mínimo 80 Bi – vergonha de todos os nossos últimos governos, desde D Pedro I – Parabéns a engenharia da China, são um exemplo mundial

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows in Argentine Patagonia the exact point where a colossal glacier, a turquoise-blue lake, and a greenish arm of water meet, creating one of the rarest and most impressive landscapes in the region.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

Scientists warn and humanity must prepare, as fires no longer slow down as they used to when night falls; the climate has increased the hours favorable to fire by 36% and demands a response to the impacts on forests and cities.

Yemen starts its first large-scale solar power plant, providing energy to up to 170,000 homes and trying to bring light to the least electrified country in the Middle East.

NASA is preparing the first mission in history with three autonomous rovers that will work together on the Moon and technology developed to map the subsurface in 3D without constant command from Earth: meet CADRE, equipped with a mesh network and a base station for cooperative exploration.

With lasers, sonar, and thousands of images, researchers scanned the Endurance, a ship lost in Antarctica for over a century, revealing an almost intact scene on the seabed.

Cars in the air have become a reality: the world’s first vertiport for electric air taxis will have passengers and integration with eVTOLs.
