　　When Hong Kong's Tsing Ma Bridge was opened in April 1997, it was included in the Guinness Book of Records. It has the longest single span for a road and rail bridge in the world．

　　The Tsing Ma Bridge is a suspension bridge which hangs in the air. It connects Lantau Island to the rest of Hong Kong for the first time. In the past, it was necessary to catch a ferry to Lantau Island．Nowadays, commuters are driving between these two places using the Lantau Link.

　　The Lantau Link cost RMB 13.7 billion to build．It consists of the Tsing Ma Bridge, the Kap Shui Mun Bridge and the Ma Wan viaduct. At 3.5 km long, the Lantau Link is perhaps the most important part of the 34 km road arid and rail network that connects Hong Kong Island to the new RMB 70 billion international airport at Chek Lap Kok.

　　The Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge, which in Japan joins the Japanese islands of Awayi and Honshu, carries both road and rail traffic．It is longer than the Tsing Ma Bridge at 1, 991 m. The Tsing Ma Bridge is only 1, 377 m long, but it has a main span longer than the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.

　　Work on the Tsing Ma Bridge began in 1992, and finished in 1997. The two main towers of the bridge are 206 m tall. The Tsing Ma Bridge has two three lane roads for road vehicles on its upper level, and two railway tracks for trains on its lower level. In addition, there are two single lane roads on the lower part of the bridge. These roads are used when there are strong winds or in emergencies.
