Halloween weekend marks the opening of the Kinmen Bridge, creating a vehicular and pedestrian path of almost 3 1/2 miles between Greater Kinmen Island and Lieyu Island in Fujian, Republic of China.
Design of the bridge began in 2010, construction in 2013, but its completion was plagued by construction problems and issues with contractors. Now, almost ten years later, the structure is complete and will open to traffic on Sunday.
Serious over runs boosted the cost from the planned $245 million to about $280 million.
