世界最长跨海大桥隧道全面建成 Major tunnel of the world's longest cross-sea bridge completed
A bridge(桥) linking(连接) Hong Kong(香港), Zhuhai(珠海) and Macao(澳门) has moved a step closer(更进一步) to officially opening(正式开放), with a major tunnel(隧道) along the project fully completed(全面建成) on Saturday.
The 55-kilometer long bridge is located along the Pearl River Estuary. When it opens, it is expected to reduce(减少) travel between Hong Kong and Zhuhai from 3 hours to just 30 minutes.
The 2,741-meter-long Gongbei Tunnel is 21 meters high(高), with an excavation area(开挖区) of 336.8 square meters, bigger than any other highway tunnel in the world, claims the China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC).
The two-way tunnel(双向隧道), with six lanes(六车道) in total, has been under construction(建设中) for the past(过去的) five years. It's the only passage(唯一的通道) connecting the main body(主体) of the bridge with Zhuhai.
