The 16.3-kilometer-long bridge is the first of its kind in China, and the longest one in the world. It has two layers designed to support a high-speed train running at a max speed of 200 kilometers per hour underneath and vehicles traveling 100 kilometers per hour on the upper level. It was officially opened to traffic on December 26 last year. [Photos by Wang Dongming from Chinanews.com]
