Jianshuo,

Jianshuo,
I think this bridge is more strategic to Ningbo (Zhejiang) than to Shanghai, because Ningbo is trying to steal more port/warehousing business from Shanghai. This bridge cut transportation time and fuel cost in a meaningful way for customers using Ningbo port.

From Engineering point of view, I think this is still significant. I remember before this bridge, the bridges in Keywest (Florida, the scene of movie True Lies) are the longest sea span bridges. Although I have not driven on that either.
