Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link Hits 2M Vehicles in Record Time

Hold onto your steering wheels! The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, China's mega bridge-tunnel project, has zoomed past 2 million vehicles in just over a month since its June 30 launch—proving it’s *the* new MVP of cross-sea travel.

Guangdong officials revealed 1.85 million passenger cars and 150,200 trucks have used the 24-km engineering marvel, which handles over 100,000 rides daily. Talk about a traffic glow-up! During its opening weekend alone, 305,000 vehicles crossed—equivalent to emptying a mid-sized city onto one bridge.

But here’s the real flex: This link slashes travel time between Shenzhen and Zhongshan from 2 hours to ~30 minutes, bridging the Pearl River like a boss. With 10 world records under its belt (including innovative tunnel-island tech), it’s rewriting the rules of infrastructure.

For young professionals eyeing Guangdong’s booming economy or travelers chasing efficiency, this link isn’t just concrete—it’s a game-changer. Next stop: faster commutes, smoother supply chains, and maybe even a ‘why didn’t they build this sooner?’ meme trend.
