The Hong Kong?Zhuhai?Macao Bridge opened in October 2018， making it possible to travel directly by car or bus from Hong Kong to Macao. The HKZM Bridge is a highway with three cable?stayed bridges and an undersea tunnel， so its not technically a continuous bridge. However you classify it， at 55?kilometres long its the longest fixed link in the world.
I first became aware of the bridge on a flight to Hong Kong. Looking out the window I saw a very long highway in the Pearl River Delta that was seemingly not connected to any land. Then I saw this artificial island where the road disappeared into.
Ive been following the construction of this project， so when it finally opened I planned to see it for myself on my next visit to Hong Kong. I was wondering what it would feel like to travel on a bridge without seeing the end， and to go in an undersea tunnel， which made me a little nervous at the thought.
There are buses running every 5 minutes and there wasnt a queue to wait for a bus. This was early days in the history of the bridge， so it may become busier in the future.
There are regular coaches and double?decker buses running this route. I was hoping to get on a double?decker bus and get a front seat at the top. I didnt wait around though and instead just got on the first available bus. I ended up getting a second row seat， which was suitable enough for taking photos.
The road goes by the airport on the island of Chek Lap Kok， and from there the journey across the sea begins. The road is three lanes across plus an emergency lane in each direction. With the bridge being eight lanes wide it felt safe and comfortable. After about 10 minutes we came up to the island of the tunnel entrance， in the middle of the sea.
The bus displays the speed on the front like a clock， and it never went over 80km/h during the whole trip. The trip through the tunnel takes about five minutes. It was a comfortable trip and it helped that there was no traffic， but I was happy to see daylight again.
Before arriving at the mainland city of Zhuhai the road forks for Macao and Zhuhai， avoiding the complications of sending traffic to Macao via the mainland. The total driving time from Hong Kong to Macao was 37 minutes.
