China Completes Worlds Largest Bridge
The 39.6km long structure, which would easily cross the English Channel, links the centre of the port city of Qingdao in eastern China’s Shandong Province with the suburb of Huangdao.
Built in just four years at a cost of £5.5bn, the six-lane road bridge is supported by more than 5,200 columns and was designed by the Shandong Gausu Group.
It is expected to carry over 30,000 cars a day and will cut the commute between the city of Qingdao and the suburb of Huangdao by between 20 and 30 minutes when it opens to traffic later this year.
Officials insist the bridge is strong enough to withstand a magnitude 8 earthquake, typhoons or the impact of a 300,000T vessel.

Comcast and NBC
On Tuesday, The Federal Communications Commission and Department of Justice approved the $30 billion mega-merger of Comcast and NBC Universal.Both the FCC and DOJ imposed conditions designed to ensure that the new company would not unfairly limit other companies' access to its content, or limit consumers' access to other companies' content.

The agreement will give Comcast a controlling 51 percent stake in the company, with General Electric retaining 49 percent.
