The Longmen Bridge, the longest cross-sea bridge in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, opened to traffic on Sunday, drastically reducing travel time between the Qinzhou Port and the Fangchenggang Port from 1.5 hours to just 25 minutes.
Located in the city of Qinzhou, the 7.6-km-long bridge connects coastal cities along the shore of the Beibu Gulf, and also meets the navigation requirements for 20,000-tonne liners.
It follows a two-way, six-lane, first-class highway construction standard, and is designed for driving speeds of 100 kilometers per hour.
The bridge is an important passage in the Beibu Gulf economic zone, and is expected to aid the zone's high-quality development.
