The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge will cross the Pearl River Delta, reducing the journey time between the two former colonies from three hours to 30 minutes. At 31 miles in total, the bridge and tunnel complex will beat the current longest such link in the world, the 23-mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, when it opens in 2016.
