BEIJING nike roshe run pink floral , June 26 (Xinhua) -- Cheers erupted as the last section of the tunnel box segment was hoisted into position, bringing the world's longest cross-sea bridge one stage closer to completion.
The tunnel excavation works in the Scenic Hill Tunnel section of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) Hong Kong Link Road (HKLR) underneath the Airport Express Line (AEL) was completed in May, linking the HKLR to the 55-kilometer bridge that connects Zhuhai in Guangdong Province with Hong Kong and Macao.
By the end of the year, the bridge will be open to traffic, cutting land travel time between Hong Kong and Zhuhai from three hours to 30 minutes.
The bridge is another example of efforts to bring Hong Kong closer to the motherland.
