What was the highlight *of the May Day? It was Hangzhou Bay Bridge*, which opened on that day.       

It is 36 kilometers long and the world’s longest cross- sea bridge. It begins at Jiaxing, crosses the East China Sea, and end at Cixi, about 70 kilometers from Ningbo. It will reduce* the driving time between Shanghai and Ningbo by about two hours.

A great number of the workers started to build it on November 2003, and ended in June 2007. Now the bridge has become famous. About 40,000 vehicles *can cross the bridge each day at first. This will be added to 100,000 vehicles a day in 2026. During the May Day holiday, many car owners came to the bridge as well as tourists on coaches*. So many people wanted to see the bridge with their own eyes.

As a shortcut *between Zhejiang and Shanghai, the bridge will not only improve traffic but also help economic *development in the Changjiang River Delta.

“People enjoy working in small cities like Cixi but living in big cities like Shanghai,” said a man. “With the help of the bridge, they can leave Shanghai for Cixi in the morning and go back in the afternoon. They only need to drive for about one and a half hours.”
