New link: Highways Department Chief Engineer Ma Ming-yiu says Shenzhen Bay Bridge can cater for 80,000 vehicles a day. Lane change-over facilities are provided in view of different traffic configurations in Hong Kong and the Mainland.

The journey time from Hong Kong to Shenzhen will be cut by 30 minutes, thanks to the opening of Shenzhen Bay Bridge, Highways Department Chief Engineer Ma Ming-yiu says.

The 5.5-km Shenzhen Bay Bridge, open on July 1, is the fourth vehicular boundary crossing between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. It links the new checkpoint at Shenzhen Bay Port in Shekou with Ngau Hom Shek in the northwest New Territories, where the 5.4-km Deep Bay Link starts, connecting to Yuen Long Highway.
