The men’s individual competition of the 15th National Games (NG) China Mobile Cup road cycling event will be held on November 8, starting at 9am and expected to conclude at 2.30pm. To facilitate the holding of the race, temporary control measures will be implemented on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) Hong Kong Port, the HZMB and nearby roads.

Such measures will be imposed on the HZMB westbound from Hong Kong towards Zhuhai/Macau from 7.30am to 12.30pm. The HZMB Hong Kong Port’s Passenger Clearance Building Departure Hall and Outbound Vehicle Clearance Plaza will close at 6.30am.

Cross-boundary public transport services on the HZMB between Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macau, including the HZMB shuttle bus (Gold Bus), cross-boundary coach and bus services of the SkyPier Terminal Transfer Coach of Hong Kong International Airport, will be suspended.

Traffic control measures will be implemented on the North Lantau Highway and roads near the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort during the race. As such, travel time to and from the airport via the North Lantau Highway is expected to increase by about 30 minutes. Travel time to and from the park, hotels and the Inspiration Lake Recreation Centre via Penny’s Bay Highway, Sunny Bay Road, Magic Road and Fantasy Road may be also increased by about 30 minutes. Drivers who need to drive to the airport may consider using the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Tunnel.

The departure and clearance services at the HZMB Hong Kong Port will resume after 12.30pm on November 8.

As the roads within Zhuhai are still closed for the race until about 2.30pm, the Gold Bus from Hong Kong to Zhuhai is expected to provide limited service from 12.30pm to 1.30pm. The Gold Bus from Zhuhai to Hong Kong will resume service at 2.30pm.

Meanwhile, the Gold Bus services to and from Macau will resume at 12.30pm.

Separately, the 15th NG road cycling (women’s individual) event will be held on November 9. Though the race course will mainly be located in Zhuhai and will not affect the HZMB and clearance services at the port, no regular public transport services will be provided for the artificial island of Zhuhai. From 7.30am to 11.30am that day, only limited services for routes departing for Zhuhai will be provided by Gold Bus.
