When does the closure start and what is affected?

The shutdown starts at 00:00 on February 15. It affects the temporary access bridge linking Zhuhai city and the HZMB artificial island, not the main HZMB bridge. All vehicles that used this spur must switch routes. The measure responds to serious corrosion risks identified by authorities to ensure public safety during cross-border travel.

Which route replaces the access bridge?

All traffic is redirected via the G94 ring. Follow posted signs, allow extra time for merges, and watch for lane controls at busy junctions. Drivers unfamiliar with the area should pre-check maps and plan refuelling and rest stops. Expect heavier volumes during weekends and holidays while the reroute remains in effect.

How will this affect northbound travel from Hong Kong?

Expect slower trips, longer queues near control points, and possible rescheduling by coach and shuttle operators. The G94 detour concentrates vehicles, so peak periods may feel tighter. Travelers should build in buffers, monitor operator messages, and consider off-peak departures to reduce wait times and protect onward connections.

Is there a reopening timeline for the access bridge?

As of February 14, no specific reopening date is cited in the reports referenced. Authorities are prioritizing safety after finding severe corrosion risks. We recommend checking official traffic notices and transport operator updates for any changes to routing, hours of operation, or procedural guidance before setting out.
