According to Xinhua News Agency, Shenzhen, June 30 (Reporter Tian Jianchuan, Liu Dawei, Wang Ruiping) At 15 o'clock on the 30th, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel, a super project in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, which attracted worldwide attention, was officially opened for trial operation. Statistics from the operation department of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor show that more than 7,000 vehicles were seen in the hour after opening.
The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor integrates "bridges, islands, tunnels, and underwater interconnection", and is a major national project and a world-class cross-sea cluster project. The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor is about 24 kilometers long, about 30 kilometers away from the Humen Bridge in the north and 31 kilometers away from the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge in the south, and adopts the technical standard of a two-way 8-lane expressway with a design speed of 100 kilometers per hour.

The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor is the core transportation hub project for the construction of a comprehensive transportation system in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. As the key "horizontal" of the "A" shaped transportation network framework around the Pearl River Estuary, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor crosses the Lingding Ocean, allowing the two major urban agglomerations of "Shenzhen-Dongguan-Huizhou" and "Zhuzhongjiang" on the east and west banks of the Pearl River Estuary to achieve cross-sea direct connection.
The driving time between Shenzhen and Zhongshan has been shortened from about 2 hours to about 30 minutes, and the two places have joined hands to enter the "half-hour economic life circle".
The toll standard for all vehicles in the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor is 66 yuan per standard train.

Lin Feiming, director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Transportation, said that the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor has the most cutting-edge technology of infrastructure construction in the mainland, which is a vivid portrayal of accelerating the construction of a transportation power, and its completion and opening to traffic will completely change the overall road grid bureau of the Pearl River Estuary, which is of great significance to the economic and social development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

The construction of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor lasted 7 years, and the project team developed 15 world-first core materials, key technologies and major heavy weapons, creating 10 "world's best".
"We insist on independent innovation of key technologies and firmly control the leading power of innovation in our own hands." Song Shenyou, director and chief engineer of the Shenzhong Corridor Management Center, said that the Shenzhong Corridor has completed a number of technological innovations, especially in the field of steel shell-concrete immersed tunnel design and construction, forming original achievements, achieving a breakthrough of "from 0 to 1", and contributing Chinese solutions to the construction of the world's cross-sea channel project.
