I didn’t know about this bridge when I took a ferry from HK to Macau. When I thought I was in the middle of the ocean far away from land I saw the bridge in the distance stretching on seemingly forever and I was blown away by the scale.

Actually the key value of this bridge is facilitating freight transactions, it does really reduce the transportation cost between Hong Kong's international port and the west coast of the Pearl River Delta, instead for of convinience of individual travel. In fact, it would be more convinient to take a ferry between two sides for individuals.@@RSCB

Uh, what? I don't know about Europe but the US took 35 years to build the Interstate Highway System which is over 70,000 km of roadways connecting every single state in multiple continuous paths spanning coast to coast, border to border. If it was necessary to build a 55 km bridge in the US, it wouldn't take 20-30 years. It would probably take about the same amount of time as this one. But it would already be built by now. As the new kid on the block, China just likes to show off with hyper-focused spectacle projects that allow it to flex its new economic muscles. Is it cool? Fuck yeah. Is it something only China could pull off? Not at all. It's just something only China would bother doing in the first place.

Reminds me of an old comic book story where Superman built a transatlantic bridge linking New York and London. He included rest stops, hotels, and gas stations periodically on the bridge itself. The idea fascinated me even though it seemed far-fetched to me even as a kid. So I'm very surprised to see something similar having been built in real life.

@Fook Oh Wong pretty laughable, I would suggest looking up patent US3849821A. Like most things from China its not original work and made cheaply(laziness). These technologies being used are old and this bridge isn't the first of its kind. Sure its long, but like most engineering features: it isn't about how great it looks, but how practical and easily maintainable it is in today's society. My guess, all that fake concrete will erode 2X as fast. We will see in time. In the meantime, be aware of emotionally(music in the video) strewn propaganda.

(By this I do not endorse China's actions and am against it - infact I have a greater threat from China than you may have as I'm just across the border.) It is a road and it does make travel quicker between the two. To enlighten you a bit, Hong Kong is already a part of China and was well connected already - and the Chinese don't need a road to extend their might over that territory - they have various ways - and have already done that. TheB1M has correctly said that this bridge brings the two places closer and still managed to take the politics out of it and focused on the engineering achievement aspect of it - you know why? Because that's what it does - it's a construction channel, not a geopolitical one. Remember, governments can change, but engineering feats like this will always remain. Piece of advice: learn to live with the dragon, unless you can slay it. Don't be butt-hurt with its strength.

At 4:44, notice the brown "streaks" in the water. These are almost certainly artificial sand banks, there to stop large ships from running straight into the pylons. The Öresund bridge mentioned has similar banks (as do doubtless many others.)

I'm supposed to be going to Hong Kong sometime next summer or the year after, and my primary goal was to see the light show, but since learning about this bridge a year or two ago my main goal is to drive across the bridge. Not sure whether i'd be allowed to (only have a UK license), but there has to be a way. Edit: Also, what utter rubbish *(not on you B1M)* ! A 300,000 tonne vessel would go straight through any section of that bridge... surely?

Too many comments to check all of them, but why no mention of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel? It has identical construction principles and connects Virginia Beach to the Eastern shore - takes hours off the journey to New York and avoids Washington's Beltway. It was opened in 1964.

Idea : if underground tunnel breaks, water can flood the tunnel. 1) outer tunnel wall to check for water breaks. 2) tunnel with emergency water proof doors that close on flood warnings. 3) Above water bridges can have concrete slabs that float on water when it collapses.
