According to data monitored by the Guangdong Provincial Transportation Group, as of 3:00 PM on July 3rd, 72 hours after the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link opened, 305,000 vehicles passed through it, with a daily average of over 100,000. This figure far exceeds the traffic volume of major cross-river passages such as the Nansha Bridge during the same period, and significantly exceeds the daily average of the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, a major cross-sea bridge in the Yangtze River Delta region. At 5:00 PM on the first day of operation, traffic peaked at 8,000 trips per hour. Many drivers chose to check in and experience the link immediately, and it was extremely popular. With news about the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link dominating the news recently, Aladdin interviewed industry insiders to find out what their impressions of it were.

The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link is a major national project attracting worldwide attention and a core hub project in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It serves as the industrial backbone and corridor for industrial upgrading in the Greater Bay Area.


Cleaning roads through mountains paves the way for innovative, integrated development in the Bay Area; building bridges over rivers connects the people of the Bay Area. The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, having mastered numerous core technologies, is the world's first integrated cross-sea project integrating bridge, island, tunnel, and underwater interconnection. It boasts the world's largest span, fully offshore, steel box girder suspension bridge, the world's highest deck and highest navigation clearance for a sea bridge, the world's largest anchorage for a sea suspension bridge, the world's highest wind speed for a suspension bridge's wind resistance test, the world's longest two-way, eight-lane submarine immersed tube tunnel, and the world's widest submarine steel-shell-concrete immersed tube tunnel. Over seven years of construction, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link has achieved 10 world records and numerous world firsts, contributing Chinese solutions to global cross-sea link projects. Its construction has brought together the strength of all parties and also gathered the intelligence and creativity of various industries. So how does the lighting industry contribute its wisdom and solutions?
