China-Maldives Friendship Bridge

“This incredibly impressive piece of engineerin­g connects Male to the airport island of Hulhule, but unlike most of the causeways connecting islands elsewhere in the country, this $250 million project goes over the open sea, meaning that vast concrete supports have been planted in the seabed”

– Lonely Planet
