24-km cross-sea Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link in S China opens to traffic

The 24-km cross-sea Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link opened to traffic on Sunday. The link reduces the travel time between Shenzhen and Zhongshan from two hours to approximately 30 minutes.　

It is a key project in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It consists of one underwater tunnel, two bridges and two artificial islands, and was one of the most challenging cross-sea cluster projects in the world to build.
