A 28 kilometer-long bridge is being planned to link the Middle East and Africa. The US$20 billion bridge will become the longest suspension bridge in the world and tower some 400 meters above the water, with at least three spans of around 2700m each. Undoubtedly set to become one of the wonders of the modern world, the project includes plans to build entire cities at each end, linked by a six-lane motorway and a four-track railway. Adding complexity to the enormous task, the bridge it is to be built in an area of intense seismic activity.

Now I’m all for bacon being the national food (apologies to those who aren’t allowed it, e.g. Muslims, Jews, etc), but I think this might just be a little much:







The site isn’t in English, but what more is there to say anyway?
