Part of the massive Hong Kong Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) project, Dragages Hong Kong and VSL have been joining hands to design and construct this 9.4-km long dual three-lane viaduct section. Upon the completion of this new land transport link, commuters will take only some 45 minutes to reach Zhuhai from the Hong Kong Airport – compared to 4 hours at present.
This pre-cast segmental bridge with the world’s longest span of 180m is being constructed with 5,714 pcs of pre-cast segments. To cope with the complex bridge alignment, more than 250 different types of segments are produced in various dimensions and sometimes unsymmetrical.

The celebration was held on site in the segment factory located in the mainland.
