The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, a mega cross-sea passage integrating bridges, islands, tunnels and underwater interchanges in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, will begin trial operation on Sunday, according to the local transportation authorities.

The much-anticipated passage passed construction acceptance in mid-June, marking the successful completion of the world-class trans-sea cluster project after seven years of preparatory work and challenging construction, according to the Guangdong Transportation Group.
