First vehicles embark on journey envisioned for decades
ZHUHAI – The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge enters the history of human engineering and connection as a point of pride upon its opening to traffic at 9am Wednesday.
One day after President Xi Jinping announced its opening at a ceremony held in Zhuhai, Guangdong province, the bridge's ports in three different administrative regions started serving travelers around-the-clock, opening 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
To ensure faster boundary crossings for passengers, the Macao and Zhuhai ports jointly use a one-off immigration clearance model, allowing travelers to queue up only once to finish both exit and entry procedures of the two cities in about 30 seconds.
