The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge – the world's longest sea-crossing bridge – just smashed a major milestone: 90 million passenger trips since its 2018 debut! 🚗💨 According to border authorities, this engineering marvel has become a lifeline for travelers, with 2024 alone seeing 27 million crossings and numbers expected to top 30 million by year-end.
Why the hype? This 55km bridge slashed travel time between Hong Kong and Zhuhai from 3 hours to just 30 minutes! 🕒➡️✨ That's faster than binge-watching two episodes of your favorite K-drama. The convenience has fueled a tourism explosion, with mainland Chinese travelers accounting for 9.01 million trips in 2025 so far.
Hong Kong and Macao residents are crossing like never before – trips jumped from 4.5M in 2019 to 16.2M in 2024. Pro tip for travelers: This bridge isn't just about speed. Those Instagram-worthy sea views? 📸🌊 Totally worth the drive.
With 18.68 million vehicles handled since opening, the bridge is rewriting regional connectivity. As one commuter told us: 'It's like having a superhighway to dim sum and Portuguese egg tarts.' 🥟🍮 Now that's infrastructure goals.
