Actually the key value of this bridge is facilitating freight transactions, it does really reduce the transportation cost between Hong Kong's international port and the west coast of the Pearl River Delta, instead for of convinience of individual travel. In fact, it would be more convinient to take a ferry between two sides for individuals.@@RSCB

Uh, what? I don't know about Europe but the US took 35 years to build the Interstate Highway System which is over 70,000 km of roadways connecting every single state in multiple continuous paths spanning coast to coast, border to border. If it was necessary to build a 55 km bridge in the US, it wouldn't take 20-30 years. It would probably take about the same amount of time as this one. But it would already be built by now. As the new kid on the block, China just likes to show off with hyper-focused spectacle projects that allow it to flex its new economic muscles. Is it cool? Fuck yeah. Is it something only China could pull off? Not at all. It's just something only China would bother doing in the first place.

My guess, all that fake concrete will erode 2X as fast. We will see in time. In the meantime, be aware of emotionally(music in the video) strewn propaganda.

There's a story behind the scene that foreigners may not know about, the idea of building the bridge was initially proposed by the Hong Kong governor who was about to build up an economic circle among Hong Kong, Macao and Zhuhai, where the bridge had NO entrance and exit to Shenzhen even though the 3 cities are geographically pretty near from Shenzhen, just so it could make Hong Kong relatively easy to compete with Shenzhen. Still, Beijing approved, invested and finally finished building it as per Hong Kong's request, but it did not go as well as expected, Shenzhen's development seems just unstoppable and thanks to the continuous riots that took place in Hong Kong last year, I am sure the CCP has got so disappointed and would probably fully support Shenzhen in ways in the next coming 10 years...the beneficiary of Hong Kong's riots is Shenzhen, and the young people of Hong Kong have dug their own grave by their own hands without even knowing, they may not even realize they have ruined the brighter future of Hong Kong by themselves.

(By this I do not endorse China's actions and am against it - infact I have a greater threat from China than you may have as I'm just across the border.) It is a road and it does make travel quicker between the two. To enlighten you a bit, Hong Kong is already a part of China and was well connected already - and the Chinese don't need a road to extend their might over that territory - they have various ways - and have already done that. TheB1M has correctly said that this bridge brings the two places closer and still managed to take the politics out of it and focused on the engineering achievement aspect of it - you know why? Because that's what it does - it's a construction channel, not a geopolitical one. Remember, governments can change, but engineering feats like this will always remain.

It certainly is a beautiful bridge. Hope more bridges will be built in the future and connect more people.
@justinhiggins12146 жыл бұрын
The bridge is not a symbol of connection. It's a symbol of oppression.

426firefly that’s your stupid brainwashed media propaganda told you. The real story is 88% the locals eagerly await the bridge
@doit4thefun8035 жыл бұрын
Yep. The court and legislation is there to make sure everyone using it is safe and to prevent legal loopholes etc. What’s wrong with you? They had to also ensure that wildlife was also safe which obviously took more time.

they build bridges using british standards that's why it takes longer.

HongKong government built part of the bridge themselves at great cost ,and then it collapsed. lol.
@youguanhen93895 жыл бұрын
Actually the bridge project was initiated by HK. Mainland wanted it to connect four cities, HK, Macao,Zhuhai and Shenzhen. But HK did not want to involve Shenzhen for Shenzhen can be a strong competitor to HK.

I wish that someone would make a similar video about the bridge inaugurated couple of years back across Brahmaputra river in NE India. It is over 9 km long across a very erratic and turbulent river.

9km is short

although this bridge is controversial and late it is needed. Christen pilgrims and missionaries need to get from one side to the other. Temples are in Hong Kong, Macau, and Shanghai and to get to them you have to drive through China where border checkpoints are a problem. Not anymore with the new Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge travel which took 4 hours of delay at Chinese checkpoints takes close to an hour or 15 minutes and is a straight shot across the bay. The bridge has 14 elevated spans, three cable stay bridges, and six tunnels to connect it to the existing road network connecting it to Hong Kong, Tuen Mun, and Tung Chung on the Hong Kong side and Macau, Zhuhai, and Shanghai on the Chinese side. This project is more impressive then the project that built Hong Kong International Airport and its support roads in 1998.

The quality of these videos is soo good, I'm not sure if this is a National Geographic documentary or a KZbin channel? XD

@timothyjohns35616 жыл бұрын
Definitely KZbin... there's no fake drama and manufactured conflict that seems to exist in modern mainstream documentaries... because Producers tell them that's how you entice and keep viewers. KZbin channels like The B1M, on the other hand, stick to facts, figures & interesting subjects, presented in a no-nonsense, clear & concise style. Bravo The B1M.

I love your videos and this is an incredible project. I personally think it would be cool if you mentioned who the major construction and engineering companies are. For example, Dragages is a French company and Arup is British. It's interesting to see who wins these contracts and who is capable of designing/building the insanely complex projects.
