The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, a spectacular 55km sea-crossing 🌉, recently took centre stage at the 15th National Games, hosting the men’s individual road cycling race. Athletes zoomed across a 231.8km route connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao, enjoying lightning-fast customs without ever “hitting the brakes.” 🚴♀️⏱️
Behind the scenes, cross-border license plate medical support vehicles and “three-region joint” command cars showcased the bridge’s “soft connectivity” – the seamless cooperation tying the Greater Bay Area together through shared services and quick-response teams. 🚑🤝
Tech fans were treated to cutting-edge demos too. RFID (radio frequency identification) systems at the Guangdong-Hong Kong and Guangdong-Macao checkpoints scanned vehicles in seconds, while the Guangdong-Hong Kong Joint Laboratory of Marine Infrastructure highlighted top-notch operation and maintenance work. It’s tech making travel smoother! 🔗👩💻
Opened in 2018, this engineering marvel is more than just a bridge. It’s a symbol of Greater Bay Area integration, driving closer ties in sports, culture and business. This event painted a vivid picture of how infrastructure and innovation can supercharge regional growth. 🚀🌏
For young pros and changemakers in South Asia and Southeast Asia, the HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge story is a reminder: investing in smart infrastructure sparks big ideas in community, tech and beyond. Keep an eye on the Greater Bay Area – the next wave of cross-border innovation is just a bridge away! 😎💡
