A view of the incomplete Hangzhou Bay Bridge in Ningbo
A view of the incomplete Hangzhou Bay Bridge in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, March 21, 2008. By cutting the transit time between the two port cities, Ningbo and Jiaxing, to 2.5 hours from four, the 36 km (22.5 mile) sea bridge, the worlds longest, will give a further boost to one of the most prosperous corners of China when it opens in April, local officials say.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of the Hangzhou Bay Bridge in Ningbo, Zhejiang province. Taken on March 21,2008, by photographer Steven Shi for Reuters Images, it showcases the bridge in its incomplete state before its grand opening in April. Stretching over a staggering distance of 36 kilometers (22.5 miles), this sea bridge holds the prestigious title of being the world's longest. The construction of this monumental infrastructure project aimed to significantly reduce transit time between two bustling port cities – Ningbo and Jiaxing. Once completed, it was estimated that travel between these cities would be reduced from four hours to just 2.5 hours, providing a substantial boost to economic activities in this prosperous region. The image portrays an impressive engineering feat as towering pillars rise from the water and connect with intricate steel structures above them. The vastness and scale of the bridge are truly mesmerizing against the backdrop of serene waters. Steven Shi's photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes China's continuous pursuit of progress and development. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to overcome geographical barriers for enhanced connectivity and growth
