The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge
The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge is a construction project which consists of a series of bridges and tunnels crossing the Lingdingyang channel that connects Hong Kong, Macau and Zhuhai, three major cities on the Pearl River Delta in China.
The 50 kilometres (31 miles) link cost US$10.6 billion (HK$83 billion). With its length, it has become one of the landmarks within the area. The longest bridge section is 29.6 kilometres (18.4 mi) long and includes three cable-stayed spans between 280 and 460 metres (920 and 1,510 ft). Construction formally began on 15 December 2009. The last bridge tower was erected on June 2, 2016. The last straight-element of the 4860 meter long immersed tunnel was installed on July 12, 2016.
A close collaboration between Dutchlamp, our distributor and the electrical engineers of the project resulted into a total new design of a cable block (IM 6x32-48), which were installed for this total project.
