ZHUHAI, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- The Zhuhai land port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has handled over 100 million inbound and outbound passenger trips as of Tuesday, since the mega project opened to traffic in October 2018 -- a milestone that mirrors the advancement of regional connectivity and integration.

The 55-kilometer bridge links the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macao Special Administrative Region and the city of Zhuhai, all of which are located in south China. As the world's longest bridge-and-tunnel sea crossing, it has drastically reduced travel times between Hong Kong and Zhuhai, and between Hong Kong and Macao, from three hours to about 45 minutes.
