China has opened the world's longest cross-sea bridge - which stretches five miles further than the distance between Dover and Calais . 

The Jiaozhou Bay bridge is 26.4 miles long and links China's eastern port city of Qingdao to the offshore island Huangdao. 
The road bridge, which is 110ft wide and is the longest of its kind, cost nearly £1billion to build.
