 * What is the name of the bridge? The name of the bridge that I chose is Fehmarn Belt Bridge. (It's awesome)
 * When and where was the bridge built? This bridge is so awesome, it hasn't even been built yet. Construction is expected to start in 2011 and finish in 2018. But these dates may not be right, seeing as I used Wikipedia. It is going to be built over the Fehmarn Belt.
 *  What is the purpose of this bridge? What does it span and what does it connect? The purpose of this bridge, as all others, is to connect stuff. It's connecting the Fehmarn Island in Germany and a Danish island, Lolland. It is going to be around 12 miles. (WOW!)
 *  Why was this bridge needed? It was needed to connect the islands...and people would have a direct link to Hamburg, Germany and Copenhagen, Denmark.
 *  What type of bridge is it (arch, suspension, cable, beam, etc.)? It is a cable-stayed bridge. That, children, is a bridge with columns and cables supporting the bridge, for those who don't know what it is and are too lazy to research it.
 *  How much did it cost? It will cost 8 billion dollars or 5 billion euros. Whichever country you live in.
 *  What materials were used to build this bridge? That information is classified. (I couldn't find it.)
 *  What were some of the special challenges that the bridge engineers faced? How did they overcome these challenges? The bridge has not yet been built, so it's hard to know. But the bridge is a giant migration spot for birds, so there is going to be a lot of trouble with that. I don't know if they fixed that yet.
 *  How long did it take to build this bridge? Just do the math, construction starts in 2011 and ends in 2018. Hint, hint, 7 years.
 *  What are the measurements of this bridge? It is going to be 12 miles long. It is tall enough for boats to get through, the columns are 65 meters up. It will also have 4 motorways and 2 railway tracks.
 *  Did you find any fun or interesting facts or stories about this bridge? Both Germany and Denmark are in this construction, but out of the 5 billion euros for the cost, Denmark is paying 4.8 billion euros for this. Germany wasn't being very nice. It is also Denmark's longest bridge over water. (woot woot) It will also have a toll fee to go on the bridge.
