Three Gorges Dam - The biggest dam in the world **-** mdolla

Three Gorges Dam - the biggest dam in the world
"The dam will be built across the 3 Gorges section of the Yangtze River. It will be a 610-foot high wall running about 1.3 miles from bank to bank. Requiring 12 years and tens of thousands of workers to complete, the dam will cost $29 billion, and will create a 370 mile long lake." That's roughly the distance from San Francisco to LA.
