Qingdao Bay Bridge, the world's longest cross-sea bridge in China, is expected to open to automobiles in June.
The road over the bridge is scheduled to be completed in 10 days, Xinhua quoted an engineer from bridge's construction headquarters, as saying.
The construction of the bridge has so far cost nearly nine billion Yuan accounting for 94 per cent of the budget, he said.
The bridge, which is 41.58 kilometers long, will link the urban district of the port city Qingdao to its Huangdao district.
The bridge will shorten the route between the two centers by 30 kilometers, cutting travel time down to around 20 minutes.
China started research and planning work for the project eight years ago, with construction work beginning in 2007.
Currently, the world’s longest cross-sea bridge is the Lake Ponchartrain Causeway Bridge in New Orleans, the United States, which is around 38.4 km long.
