The main part of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge in South China passed the completion review by Chinese authorities on Wednesday, Xinhua News Agency reported.
Public information shows that the bridge has facilitated people-to-people exchanges and trade in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) since it was opened in October 2018. Thanks to the bridge, the time required to drive from Zhuhai in South China’s Guangdong Province to the Hong Kong International Airport has been cut from around 4 hours to 45 minutes.
By the end of 2022, the bridge's Zhuhai land port had handled over 500 billion yuan ($72.7 billion) of imports and exports involving 230 countries and regions, official data showed.
