The world’s longest sea bridge ‘Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge’ will be open for traffic on 24th October 2018. It was inaugurated by Chinese Prident Xi Jinping on 23rd October 2018.
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge is situated in the Lingdingyang waters of the Pearl River Estuary which lies in a region known as China's Greater Bay Area.
The construction of the multibillion-dollar bridge had begun in December 2009.
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, which measures about 34 miles (55-kilometer-long bridge)and took 9 years to complete, spans the waters of the Pearl River Estuary and will cut the travel time between Hong Kong and Zhuhai from three hours to 30 minutes.
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge will reduce the travel time between Hong Kong and Zhuhai from three hours to just 30 minutes, further integrating the cities in the Pearl River Delta.
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge tolls will range from 60 yuan to 300 yuan (or about $8 to $43), according to officials.
