By 2012, the bridge is expected to break the world record for length, which is held now by the French Millau bridge.

The Jia-Shao (Jiaxing-Shaoxing) bridge will have six piers supporting an 8-lane roadway. It is designed to span 2,680 meters, 220 meters longer than the French Millau bridge.

With a planned investment of nearly 14 billion yuan, it will be the second bridge built at Hangzhou Bay.

The Jia-Shao bridge will be a section on the national highway linking Shenyang with Haikou, capital of southernmost China's Hainan province.
