World's longest bridge - 22 km long...


Qatar-Bahrain causeway is going to feature the world's longest bridge ever built and it is going to connect the west coast of Qatar to the east coast of Bahrain. It is going to measure a whopping 22km which is almost equal to 13 miles and this project is going to go ahead in 2010. It is going to be built over a period of four-and-a-half years period.

Bahrain and Qatar have allocated a budget of $500 million just to start the project and it is definitely going to cross that limit for sure. It will be equipped with a 13 metre wide railroad bridge and the travel time between Qatar and Bahrain is going to be reduced to a mere 30 minutes from the present travel time of 4 and a half hours.
