We present a complete ^12^CO(J=1-0) map of the prominent molecular ridge in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) obtained with the 22m ATNF Mopra Telescope. The region stretches southward by ~2{deg} (or 1.7kpc) from 30 Doradus, the most vigorous star-forming region in the Local Group. The location of this molecular ridge is unique insofar as it allows us to study the properties of molecular gas as a function of the ambient radiation field in a low-metallicity environment. The mass spectrum and the scaling relations between the properties of the CO clumps in the molecular ridge are similar, but not identical, to those that have been established for Galactic molecular clouds.
