The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the world’s longest bridge-and-tunnel sea crossing, is celebrating its sixth anniversary this October. Spanning an impressive 55 kilometers, the bridge connects the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), Macao SAR, and the city of Zhuhai in China’s Guangdong Province.
Since its opening, the bridge has become a vital route for residents and visitors alike, enhancing regional connectivity with 24-hour customs clearance at the port. Travelers experience seamless movement between the three vibrant regions, fostering economic growth and cultural exchange.
This anniversary is marked by record numbers of passengers and vehicles, highlighting the bridge’s significance in uniting communities. The surge in traffic underscores its role as a cornerstone of the Greater Bay Area’s development.
As the region prepares to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Macao’s return to China on December 20, the bridge stands as a symbol of unity and progress. It not only represents an engineering marvel but also the collaborative spirit that propels the region forward.
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge continues to bridge distances and bring people together, embodying the promise of connectivity and shared prosperity for the future.
