After seven years of monumental construction, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan link has officially opened to traffic on June 30, marking a significant milestone in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Stretching 24 kilometers across the Pearl River Delta, this engineering marvel comprises two impressive bridges, two artificial islands, and a cutting-edge undersea tunnel. The link connects the bustling city of Shenzhen with Zhongshan, drastically reducing travel time between the two economic hubs.
The new cross-sea corridor is expected to play a pivotal role in balancing regional economic development. By enhancing connectivity, it will facilitate smoother logistics, promote trade, and foster closer integration among cities within the Greater Bay Area.
Local residents and businesses anticipate that the infrastructure will not only boost convenience but also open up new opportunities for collaboration and growth across the region.
