After five years' planning and nine years' construction, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, with a total length of about 55 kilometers, spans Lingdingyang, connecting Hong Kong to the east and Zhuhai and Macau in Guangdong to the west. It is the longest cross-sea bridge in the world and the first super-large cross-sea traffic project jointly built by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
In the future, the time and space distance between Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao will be greatly shortened-the driving distance from Hong Kong to Zhuhai and Macao will be shortened from 3 hours to 45 minutes, and the western part of the Pearl River Delta will be included in the 3-hour driving range of Hong Kong.
"One bridge pulls, and the chess pieces in the west of the Pearl River Delta are alive." What does this super project, known as the "Seven Wonders of the New World", mean to Zhuhai, the western Pearl River Delta and even Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area?
It means that a "Greater Bay Area central pole" appears. After the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the most intuitive impact on Hong Kong, Macao and Zhuhai is that personnel exchanges between the three places will be more convenient.
Before the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, it will take about 75 minutes for a meeting from Hong Kong or Shenzhen to Zhuhai, and the passage will be affected by the weather. If you go by land, you need to bypass Humen Bridge in Dongguan, which takes about 3 hours by car.
Zhuhai is a seaside city with charming scenery, Macau is a world-famous international tourism and leisure center, and Hong Kong is an internationally renowned free port and international financial center. After the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge connects the three places, a Greater Bay Area center integrating tourism, leisure, shopping and business has initially appeared. In the future, Zhuhai people are fully qualified to take the lead in realizing the beautiful vision of living in Zhuhai, relaxing in Macao and studying and working in Hong Kong.
