Is the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge closing on February 15?

No. The bridge stays open. Zhuhai will close the temporary access bridge to its port area from 15 February due to safety risks. Vehicles will detour via the Gongbei Tunnel and the G94 Pearl River Delta Ring. Travelers should allow extra time and check operator updates.

Which routes replace the Zhuhai port access for vehicles?

Traffic will be rerouted through the Gongbei Tunnel and the G94 Pearl River Delta Ring. Drivers should review updated navigation guidance and avoid peak hours where possible. Coach and shuttle services may adjust schedules to match road conditions. Always confirm the latest advisories before departure.

How might cross-border travel from Hong Kong be affected?

Expect potential delays near the inland approach on the Zhuhai side, with variable wait times during peaks. Immigration on the Hong Kong side remains unchanged. Build buffer time for coaches, shuttles, and private transfers. If congestion stabilizes quickly, disruptions should decrease within days as drivers adapt to the detour.

What can Hong Kong businesses do to reduce disruption?

Reschedule pickups away from peaks, pre-clear paperwork, and share reroute maps with drivers. Split high-value or time-sensitive shipments. Add timing options in purchase orders, and confirm cold-chain safeguards for longer waits. Keep customers informed of revised delivery windows while the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge detour is in effect.
