On November 28, the main line of Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link was connected.
The link is scheduled to open to traffic in 2024. Once operational, the driving time between Shenzhen and Zhongshan will be shortened from the current two hours to approximately 30 minutes.
Stretching for 24 kilometers with a design speed of 100 km/h, the link is a core transportation hub project in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). It consists of one underwater tunnel, two bridges and two artificial islands, making it one of the most challenging cross-sea cluster projects in the world.
The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link is about 30 kilometers from Humen Bridge in the north and 31 kilometers from Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge in the south. After opening to traffic, it will help to form a network of cross-sea and cross-river passages in the GBA, boosting connectivity of the city cluster, said Deng Xiaohua, head of Guangdong Provincial Communication Group Co., Ltd.
