The Longest Bridge In The World
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- It’s more than a hundred miles long, incorporates half a million tonnes of steel and it took just four years to build. There are bridges, there are very long bridges, and then there is the world’s longest, and therefore greatest, bridge.
But where is it? What does it carry? And has it recently been overtaken by an even longer bridge? Join us now as we rock up to the metaphorical toll booth for a good, long look at the world’s longest bridge.
Our journey today takes us to the People’s Republic of China, where historically unprecedented public spending and a single-minded, nation-building approach to infrastructure planning means the Chinese now consume a whopping 50% of all the world’s steel and as much as 70% of its cement every single year.

Megaprojects: The World’s Longest Bridge
According to Wikipedia, 37 bridges over 20km in the world, 18 in China.
Brunei darussalam have 30km bridge
@@ziqpiano1968 Built by Chinese?
TBH that's just because China builds a lot of HSRs. Second place is actually the Taiwan HSR (although GWR apparently doesn't count it?)
@@johndaily9869 yeah. Brunei bridge are built by chinese

I was born in a remote mountain village in China. My family and I moved to the city in 2008, and now my hometown has become a small city. China: Build,Build,Build,Build,Build,building
Damn respect for architects and engineers
Doctors r more important
Yeah you live in a cave and when you get fever go to a doctor.
Bridges have been built for thousands of years and it's still amazing to see them being built on such an industrial scale. The machines that build those bridges are themselves amazing engineering machines. These are great videos.
Best collection comment.
1:01 seen this with my own eyes
It's an absolute beast
The subway in Hong Kong back to 30 years ago still better than subway in NY
I only see it on RUclips but I’m gonna have to agree with this comment cause I wanna ride Hong Kong 🇭🇰 subway ❤️❤️💪🏾
NY subway is over 100 year old!

What is ny subway 🙄

How the heck is China doing all of these mega projects when the US can't even afford to replace a bridge or a length of highway?
USA have lot of military spending and little correction I think.
In China when they say they’re going to do something they’re going to do something because they technically I own everythingAnd there’s not as much red tape there as there is in the United States
US is more interested in building weapons than bridge. A single F35 project costs more than the entire Chinese Belt and Road global project. The difference is one is a weapon we wish not to use and the other improves daily trading and wealth.
Chinese people put in full effort until its finish no BS American too busy looking for benefits and watching the border 😅
US is more interested in buying weapons 🤣
That bridge to Hong Kong is highly congested so only certified drivers can use it, mainly public transportation companies. Anyone can take a public bus across the bridge. Good job making it sound like corruption though.
Nice documentary Video bro good job.
China is really amazing from a technical point of view. We can learn a lot from china and in that sense we should not let china down simply because somebody become poorer and less powerful than china. China can improve their image simply by chainging their vision towards the rest of the world and it won't cost them anything. Good luck china.
It's not just about someone became poorer, it's about oppression in China and work conditions
@@atefm6 It is called slavery or 'enslavement'. China is a red nation.
EXCEPT CHINA WANTS TO END THE USA
Damn, repeating that name of the bridge must be hard. 😂

They are going to build a 130 km / 80 miles cross sea bridge before 2035.
the way he pronounce it is not even which is very understandable.
@@JayceeR It's just Mandarin transliteration of 2 cities, where Danyang is the start and Kunshan is the end.
I call it Hong Kong - Macau Bridge
There are many slanders in this video. One of then is the Chinese consumed 50% of the steel in building the bridges but the speaker does not seem to know China has always been the world's biggest steel producer for consecutive 25 years. In 2020 China produced 2/3 of the world steel so that countries like Serbia, Thailand, Mozambique, Indoneia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Laos, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Ethiopia...... can have rails, bridges, ports, bridges, high speed rails, stadium, power plant, hydro stations, solar farms, wind farms, industrial zones, factories, water supply, electricity grids.....
Apart from many things China is the biggest bridge builder in the world and has built bridges longer than the next 10 countries put together. So to the speaker a longest bridge is a big sensation but China could break its own record when there is a need to have another longer bridge.
The sinister nature of the speaker is to link the engineering with politics in Hong Kong and totally ignorant of Hong Kong has been returned to China since 1997. In 2047 it will be fully integrated into China's political system. It was left untouched for 50 years from 1997 only for the foreigners to get their investments out. However the speaker spoke as Hong Kong is still part of UK.
The above statistics should be enough when it comes to bridge enegineering the Chinese may be the expert for actually having done something than just talking about it like this speaker.
China should stop imprisoning and killing innocent people, trying to control portions of Africa, and constantly projecting it’s sinister influence across the world.
I've ridden a train on this one several times. Is it a bridge? Or is it an elevated railway? I suppose you could say it's both. It's all on land, going between cities. Elevated to save on land acquisition costs. Land is at a premium in China, while labor and materials are still relatively affordable.
Yes, technically it's a bridge.
1. its "not open to public" because when you use the bridge you end up entering the "border" of mainland China/HK Special Administrative Region or Macau Special Administrative Region. I.E: It is like driving from country A and entering into country B and you dont do that unless you have a permit. And no, although HK and Macau are part of China, but they are special Administrative Region so they somehow operate like a seperate region of China and you have to pass through immigration to get in from the other.
2. of course there are public transport running through the bridge. for example you can get on a special express bus from Hong Kong, which will then take you to Macau, you enter the border of Macau then you can play in the casinos.
Useless Macau-HK Bridge bearly no one uses except people who want to head to airport from Macau, public transport buses, and maybe more privileged with own car. People will still stick with Ferry no matter what as it's more convenient for locals to inner HK and Macau. China is up to no good.
In the philippines 🇵🇭 we have 2 longest bridge 🌉 the san juanico bridge that connects the islands of samar and leyte the 1st longest bridge in southeast asia even in asia, and the other one is the new built bridge the cebu-cordova bridge in cebu island, the most beautiful modern and longest in the country 🇵🇭
Lol
The Shenzhen-Zhongshan bridge is not going to finish in 2030, it's 2024.
1:45 the picture is NOT Nanjing, but the Nanjing Road in Shanghai. Both places (1:45 and 1:47) are in Shanghai and only 2 or 3 km apart...
Just wait until they finish the BRI.
This isn't a bridge, it's a elevated rail. The only bridge part can be the portion that goes over rivers and ocean

So a 35 Km bridge from London to Switzerland is possible? As in 101 Dalmatian Street Cruella drives two London, straight from Switzerland.
It's almost a pitty at max speed the train runs the whole 164 kilometers in a mere 28 seconds.
you mean minutes?
Those trains may be fast, but 300 km per minute is not believable :)
@@ehombane I have no ide what I wanted to say with that comment. I'm usually quite good at telling minutes and seconds apart, though ;-)
I have read a news article which says that India had a talk with Sri Lanka to build a bridge between them .
Can you make a video on the possibilities , logistics , benifits etc on building that bridge.
Yes but still not any other thing happened I known they want to build ram setu again...
Have they finished building toilets?
@@nothing9220 oh! So you are saying this with your old 2000&2010 data... For your kind information almost 90%have toilets or more than 90. So pls stop saying nonsense without proper information and accurate data
@@abhayprasad9580 yup over 90% of the Indian population has access to toilets.
@@nothing9220 has china stopped making viruses and occupying land of other countries?
Actually I had a misconception that HSR was mostly bridges in China because the only 300kph line I've taken for a long time was Shanghai to Nanjing (then to Wuhan but that stretch is 250). Definitely want to take the 350kph train to Beijing one day if I ever go back to China.
China is at least 30 years away from the United States, and it has to continue to accelerate its development.
The video was beautiful until at the end where it spread inaccurate narrative around 6 minutes. HKSAR is more free now than in 2019 with the riot! democracy and free speech are very active in HKSAR!

People like you wants to profit with the uploads Chinese infrastructure but could not resist voicing your political views. If you don't like the Chinese system, why not just show the crumbling Western bridges and roads.
Amazing engineering skill iwish you could upload every day
Hong Kong was a colony never had democracy, the governor was appointed by the UK and has full power during that time.
How's possible to criticize such an incredible achievement by humans? What better? spend billions in so called "export democracy"? I think chinese are happy people. They feel part of something,much more than others western countries
ohh, kinda depends, if those money cant be spent in better way
Was there democracy in HK before 1997? Sorry for politically incorrect question.
Yes there was. It surrendered once Hong Kong was given to the red government.
Has anyone else realised how many adjectives he uses.
unbearable
Amazing engineering skill
Já a percorri por diferias vezes , uma viagem maravilhosa.
Vraiment 🤔?
How scary was it?
I wonder why they didn't consider an underground approach, like England's Chunnel or the Boring Company's Loop? Maybe that wasn't possible with such long distances, but it seems like it would have avoided damage to local aquatic life habitats and also not created eye pollution.
Cost too much for underground solutions
Not viable
It’s china they don’t give a fuck about
The environment, no matter what the state owned media says
One question how the freek is it's bridge when it's just elevated over land
My grandfather is from Yorkshire
He took my father to see this bridge. He turned, and, with a tone of great severity, said: Ooh peter, this'un be ther longest suspenshun bridge in oll ther wurld. And my father sayeth unto him: yeah that's great mate is there a pub nearby?
It's not a bridge once it hits land, which this does many times.
That 8 billion price tag for the 9 mile stretch over water is almost nothing, they wanted 2 billion to do a 300 foot span over the missisippi just a couple years ago when a bridge collapsed.
Hate to say it, but their engineers and architects are making us look like amateurs! Because they are linking cities and communities considered "unreachable" and doing it consistently! Once upon a time we were leading the way in building strong infrastructures, now we have a time maintaining what we have let alone building new highways, bridges or tunnels! That's what REALLY hurts!!!
And in the meantime UK is not able to connect their mainland with Northern Ireland. Standing ovations 👏👏👏👏
The depth of the sea is too much for current technology.
They can't even finish the Van Wyck in NY for 15 years and they built this bridge in 4. What a shame
Meanwhile, the US just blows sh!t up while completely ignoring our own deteriorating infrastructure.
It would take 50 years to build a bridge of this scale in the states. After EPA studies, unions, government squandering the finances, cost over runs, it would then be cancelled mid span.
We used to be the first to take on enormous challenges, now we're looking more and more like a 3rd world banana republic.
5:36 WAIT WHAT!? How the hell can they get blood pressure checks from a camera when the car is going over 40mph??
Cheaper than a nuclear aircraft carrier!
There are pros and cons of China Bridges:
Pros:There are some aesthetic and execution by design bridges and promote tourism
Cons:Risk of Danger if poorly constructed because there are some news about Tofu Dreg Projects
in pakistan a 40 foot bridge is being built for more than a year, last i check they are still working on it.
Padma bridge is the longest bridge in the world😵
Build By Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Rahman
It is sad that you have injected politics to the content.
When one builds a bridge, one tends to use it and not protect it from all usage!
The hardest and most time consuming part of this video is the names
It all depends on the powers that be how the bridge/viaducts are defined. Kinda like Pluto, one day it's a planet, the next a dwarf planet because of a definition change.
Definitions are like a seive...

Yet they are still working after how many years on the same sections of highway in NC?
What about if China will overtake USA in nominal GDP???
if?
5:34 even if a camera some how saw a driver yawn and have low blood pressure when moving atleast 40mph, what the hell would they do to help the situation??
One of the picture is wrong. (South korean KTX photo is inserted)
6:10 AKA you mean Hong Kong was colonized by the British. Thats the only reason its special or seperate in any adminstrative or even really a cultural sense. British "hong kong advocates" are just trying to preserve their colony in some adminstrative or symbolic sense
Err not exactly.
Ask any Honky ~ out of earshot of the thought police ~ whether they'd prefer to be just another province of China or to go back to the dynamic business oriented economic success that was Hong Kong and you can guess what their answer will be.
The fact that it was run by Britain was instrumental only so far as Great Britain is a western civilised democratic country. It could have been any number of others, don't you see?
India will take 200 years to build something like this. Planning alone will take 5 years.
Incredible China 🇨🇳👍👍👍💕
U have best intro
Hardly over water 💧 entirely. The ol bigeasy in Louie we in USA has the two longest bridges over water, lake P’train causeways at 24 miles. But these bridges are even longer
Salivating
China help poor country. So I like china
1 part of this video that's cap is that they factored in the curvature of the earth. Awesome vid tho.
Another Chinese infrastructure project completed, anyway,has Biden started his infrastructure stimulus plan yet,or are we just talking.
4:19 local residents 😂🤣😂, tell me what type of local resident???
They are sooo far ahead of America, we look like a joke. I think we should start moving forward and quit trailing. Just think how we could travel to places crossing oceans on trains above ground, no more airplanes, too slow.
Can’t imagine the harm it must have done to marine life !
No one mentioned where the construction came from, Also, how they will maintain those bridges? So much work took place in water, how did they mitigate environmental issues? And really, any technology breakthroughs in construction of those bridges?
So it would be impressive only if there is any technology breakthrough? No, the sheer level of scale involved in building such a massive piece of infrastructure is a breakthrough in itself. Look, you can hate china as much as you like but you'll not take away the fact that they are "builders". That's what they do. They build the great wall, an impressive feat even compared to the egyptian pyramids which are hailed as a marvel in the west; that's a 20k km (half across the world) wall built thousands of years ago. If that's not impressive, then I don't know what is.
Chinese brands in China: for a few billion builds largest construction projects
Meanwhile Chinese brands in UK: costs same amount of money to build non significant high-rise building with no attractive design or engineering significants that's only purpose is offices.
Night light is so beauty.
If it’s built Bangladesh then we have need to built 100000000.. years.cost 1000000000000000000.... Usd
Could they not find any stock video of Chinese workers?

How many curvature is that?
What About Brunei Darussalam? It have 30km bridge
how did they get all the pilars leveled exactly where they needed to be
RUclips, always use kilometers instead of miles please.
That’s a long bridge!
Gotta watch out, there is a channel called Megaprojects so it wouldn't put it in the title. ;)
Good bridges collection
That's a benefits of single minded country one party rule helped China alot
Weird that they forwent public transit across the bridge.

People are on an infrastructure kick. Let's build our country up now that the earth is breaking down. Let's see floods, earthquakes, land slides, volcanos, tsunami, swarms of locusts and the such, desert floods, rivers drying up. Hail, snow, cold, hot. And what ever else is hapening.
