This bridge allows you to reduce travel time by only half an hour, which actually caused a storm of controversy in the society, in view of the fact that 30 minutes on the road is not so much, and the amount spent for its construction could be invested in more usefuland expedient construction. Disputes are controversial, but, nevertheless, a bridge "rolls around" 30 thousand cars a day.

The longest pedestrian bridge is in Sochi! Its length is 439 meters.
The largest pedestrian bridge is not in China, but in Russia - in Russia! There is a bridge in the city of Sochi, becoming part of the famous "Sky Park" over the Ahshtyr gorge. Of course, the bridge does not reach even half a kilometer, but it is also pedestrian. Construction of the bridge was completed in the summer of 2014, and lasted about two years.
The height of the bridge is 218 meters. The bridge is capable to sustain blows of elements and simultaneous finding on it of 3000 persons. The design includes observation platforms, and is also actively used for extreme jumping rope jumping.
It is these bridge structures that are the longest on the planet today, but as a rule, such results are short, since when building new bridges, they are now trying not only to connect the two banks, but also to beat some previous record.
