This PowerPoint Presentation shows the best of Chinese bridges.  China's Longest bridge is across Hangzhou Bay in the eastern coastal region of China.

Longest China Bridge

China's Hangzhou Bay Trans-oceanic Bridge (simplified Chinese: 杭州湾大桥; traditional Chinese: 杭州灣大橋; pinyin: Hángzhōu Wān Dàqiáo) 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 (US$1.70 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

Irish Bridge Project

Normally the Irish are good at buildings.  After all it was McAlpine's who built the Pyramids and Giza, and Wimpey's constructed the Sphinx.  However, their Irish logic seems to have had one too many pints of Guinness here.
