At the same time, bridges sometimes do harm to the wildlife living there. The Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge sets a great example for solving these problems in a scientific way. The Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge is the longest bridge in the world. It started building in 2008 and opened in 2011. The bridge forms part of China’s high-speed railway network which makes travel faster.
