No it's not opeb, it's the Qingdao Haiwan bridge. I didn't find the reports particularly bad-assey though.

Correct. Longest continuous bridge.

The one in the OP is the longest aggregate. (Weak)

"Lake Pontchartrain Causeway then became the longest bridge over water (continuous)[2] while Jiaozhou Bay Bridge became the longest bridged over water (aggregate)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Pontchartrain_Causeway#Longest_bridge_controversy_July_2011

The world’s longest cross sea bridge has been revealed by China, proving once again how technology and economics are the strongest points of its economy.

What does building a bridge like this have to do with technology? It's not like it uses any ground-breaking design or anything. It just takes a ridiculous amount of money and the application of what people have known about bridge building for many years.

Damn, so that's where all the money I spend at Walmart is going! Bridges to nowhere in China.

Bah, that doesn't count. There could be a big hole in the middle for all we know as nobody ever wants to go to the Yupper.

The 6 lane bridge is almost three miles longer than the previous record holder, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana.
