Due to open in 2024, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan bridge across the Pearl River is expected to cut commuting time between the two cities in South China's Guangdong province from two hours to about 30 minutes. Construction of the bridge is currently in full swing.

The project is a sea-crossing link, integrating two bridges, two artificial islands, a twoway eight-lane tunnel and underwater channels.

The link is designed with a total span of about 24 kilometers, and the speed limit on the crossing, when it is completed, will be a maximum speed of 100 km per hour.
