The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge connecting the east and west sides of the Pearl River Delta in South China, will officially open on Tuesday. People in the city of Zhuhai have been sharing their thoughts, expectations, and even concerns ahead of the unveiling.

YU JUN, SOFTWARE ENGINEER KINGSOFT "It's exciting to know the bridge will officially open soon. I'm proud to see our country accomplish these types of engineering miracles over the past decades."

LIU DEBAO, SALES MANAGER SANY HEAVY INDUSTRY "Completion of the project will promote economic and cultural exchanges between Macao, Zhuhai and Hong Kong, and will unite us as a family."

PROF. H.C. JOSEF B. CAPOUSEK STRATEGY & POLITICS MANAGEMENT CONSULTING "The construction of the bridge is marvellous. It's great."

GU BING, CUSTOM SERVICE STAFF MGM MACAO "I can see more people traveling between Macao, Hong Kong and Zhuhai. Tourism will boom for sure. We are eager to know more details about tolls and parking arrangements."

LARRY LEUNG, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT LAI SUN GROUP HONG KONG "The bridge allows people to commute between locations all within a day. It will attract more Hong Kong people to seek opportunities in the greater bay area."

HUANG YUHONG JIUZHOU PORT PASSENGER SERVICE "The bridge will take away some of our passengers yet provide a new choice. We have our advantages in service and one-stop journeys, while they have the convenience factor. I believe together we can expand the passenger market."

ZHOU XIAOBAO STAY-AT-HOME MUM "I travel a lot to Macao. I hope the government can ease restrictions on traffic permits so that common citizens can go across the bridge with their Macao or Hong Kong license plates, instead of getting a special one."
