One of the world's longest over-water bridges is finally nearing completion after nearly a decade of construction. The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge is set to connect Hong Kong with Macau and Zhuhai, three major cities on the Pearl River Delta in China. The crossing consists of three cable-stayed bridges and one undersea tunnel. The construction formally began in 2009 and is due to be completed in December 2017, opening to traffic in 2018. Over 400,000 tons of steel was used to buid the project, about 60 times the amount used to build the Eiffel Tower.
