Mega Structures : China's Bridges



The longest arch bridge in the world, and a spectacular suspension bridge. Each designed to conquer breathtaking distances. To withstand typhoons, and earthquakes. They’re part in the biggest bridge building boom ever. In the planet’s most fastest growing nation: China. What does it take to build the world’s most impossible bridges ? China is going under a transformation unlike any other in history. In just a decade, it has created a web of roads and bridges, second only to the United States. But unlike the US, China has two of the longest rivers. Rivers that divide the country, and disrupt travel by land. The creation of bridges is vital to this exploding economy. But China’s bridges are a bridge builder’s nightmare.
