Main sea-crossing bridge of Xiamen section of Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge connected

The main sea-crossing bridge of the Xiamen section of the Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge was connected on Tuesday, marking the completion of the sea-crossing bridge's main structure designed to link Fujian with the nearby Taiwan-administered island. Crews waited for the cool nighttime air to safely crane and align the final 3,300-ton steel bridge piece.
 
The 19.6-kilometer, 8-lane bridge was carefully designed to curve around a nearby nature reserve, successfully protecting local habitats for rare Chinese white dolphins.

When it opens at the end of this year, the bridge will drastically cut travel times between Xiamen Island and the new Xiang'an International Airport, while leaving room for a future direct connection to Kinmen Island.
