        Hopefully, they used a more reputable steel manufacturer and they learned from California's mistake https://www.nace.org/CORROSION-FAILURES-San-Francisco-Bay-Bridge-Bolt-Failure.aspx …

        Thank you Peter. Amazing. So, China opens mega-bridge linking Hong Kong to mainland. The 34-mile bridge links the cities of Hong Kong, Macau, and Zhuhai. Raises question in U.S.: Whatever happened to President Trump’s “Infrastructure Week?” How’s that going? #Controls3Branches

        So many negativity here.... A record breaking bridge linking the delta region and its big cities. Cutting down the traveling time and creating more free travel, integration.... What is there not to like?

        An elegant solution but the problem lay in the detail on one end of the bridge traffic drives on the left while on the Honkong end trafic drives on the right will they meet in the middle.
