Highest Bridge in the World.

Lots of great achievements that have been made by humans, dazzling eyes of anyone who looked up to endless admiration, one of which is the construction of bridges, intentionally created to support human and economic aspects of the other. But can not deny, a work always bring the good name of the nation where the work was, it gives birth to the great bridges can be called phenomenal.
This indicates the greatest engineering work of highly qualified specialists in the world and also conveys the message that nothing is impossible any.

The cost of construction is approximately 400 million Euros and was officially opened to traffic on December 16, 2004. The bridge has received IABSE Award of the form "Outstanding Structure Award" in 2006.
Now you already know some of the bridges in the world is high and long. Not long ago there was an Indonesian government plans to build a bridge that will cross the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra, and connect the two provinces of Banten and Lampung. If the bridge is so realized, this could be a bridge will fall into a magic world in Indonesia with the longest span in the world and also the highest.
