On September 15, the E12 immersed tube of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Cross-sea Link was embedded after 25 hours of undocking, transport, mooring, and installation. Now the total length of the installed immersed tube tunnel reached over 2000 meters, which is a big achievement for the Link's construction.
It is estimated that the whole tunnel, which is made up of 32 tubes, will be finished in 2023 under the Lingding Channel.
The 24-kilometer link connecting the cities of Shenzhen and Zhongshan will play an essential role in the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Cross-sea Link will open to traffic in 2024. It will cut travel time between the two cities from two hours to 30 minutes.
