Lótus Bridge, International road bridge between Zhuhai, China and Macau SAR.
Description
Lótus Bridge stretches 1,780 meters across the Shap Sam Mun Waterway and connects mainland China to Macau with three lanes in each direction. The structure crosses shallow water with views of industrial and port areas on both sides.
History
The project was completed in March 1999 and became one of the major cross-border infrastructures between China and Macau. Its construction required extensive coordination between the two different administrative systems.
Culture
The bridge links two different worlds: busy Zhuhai with its modern growth on one side and Macau's entertainment district on the other. Travelers notice how the landscape and activity change as they cross from one territory to the next.
Practical
The bridge is 8 kilometers from Macau International Airport and operates 24 hours daily for vehicle traffic. Drivers should know that traffic switches between right-hand and left-hand driving systems, managed through special transition roads.
Did you know?
The bridge features special transition roads that handle the switch between right-hand traffic on mainland China and left-hand traffic in Macau. This engineering solution makes it one of the few bridges connecting two opposite driving systems worldwide.
