Crossing an Ocean: The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge 

Same, I drove from hk to Macao and it's honestly long asf

Actually the key value of this bridge is facilitating freight transactions, it does really reduce the transportation cost between Hong Kong's international port and the west coast of the Pearl River Delta, instead for of convinience of individual travel. In fact, it would be more convinient to take a ferry between two sides for individuals.@@RSCB

I used to take the ferry @@JichuanLin

Does that road have gold dust mixed into the concrete?

😂😂😂

Yayyy

Here in Canada I will take 5 years to plan

At Least It Won't Sink............

Wow. That is such a humbling comment to read. Thank you so much. We feel thankful for each and every one of our amazing subscribers.

@@TheB1M Yours is an absolutely innovative and informative channel

Me too

It's like a drug, thanks @The B1M.

Meee TOOO

No shit Sherlock

Only in China 😅

only happens in China

While Art is getting shitter.

@@leehenry5764 7

so true:-)

The videos are well performed and the text agreeably pronounced.

name an another country that capable to build such bridge....

@but2star hhh 🤣🤣

That's why USA needs to contain raise of China

@but2star Now it is getting serious

Not to mention how other countries wouldn't be even able to afford it since labor costs are very inexpensive when compared to "developed" countries.

exactly. Imagine this bridge just being an idea. The boldness it takes to turn that idea and really see it to the finish line is insane

I imagine that could be worrying to some.

That's what the HZMB does already. Being as long as it is, the Earth's curvature had to be taken into account.

We indian have 125 km of bridge .

thx indian bro

thx a lot

Ram Nath in the whole country of 1 billion plus people? LMAO thats not very good friend

thx bro

Jesus is gonna build bridges over the whole ocean as he raises Jehovah's witnesses to perfection during his soon to start 1k year Peaceful rule as King

Imagine trump hire chinese peoples to build the wall.

it is not fast for China. if hongkong didnt join the progress of building，six years is enough

@jwang604 it would be safer not to build the bridge, and not to build anything

Isn't Union construction great!

the whole film will be a car chase scene

@@chengzhang9175 It can be done Fury Road style

Don't forget the FAST & FURIOUS crew.

yes! but Fast and Furious production probably want to have a talk with bridge authorities for filming, because the Fast and Furious 6 Airstrip wasn't enough.

Sounds like a wonderful idea...

The Chinese have experience

Actually it only takes 6 years since 2 years were wasted on the Hong Kong side arguing in the Legislation on the budget issue.

@@samtran6832 Thought so.

Uh, what? I don't know about Europe but the US took 35 years to build the Interstate Highway System which is over 70,000 km of roadways connecting every single state in multiple continuous paths spanning coast to coast, border to border. If it was necessary to build a 55 km bridge in the US, it wouldn't take 20-30 years. It would probably take about the same amount of time as this one. But it would already be built by now. As the new kid on the block, China just likes to show off with hyper-focused spectacle projects that allow it to flex its new economic muscles. Is it cool? Fuck yeah. Is it something only China could pull off? Not at all. It's just something only China would bother doing in the first place.

20-30 years??? Boy u r being naive, I’ll say 200 years.

Make sure you look into the requrements to have access to the bridge. Most people in the CCP's version of China can't meet requirements so I don't know how it will work for a Foreigner.

There are strict restrictions on who can drive across the bridge. But there are shuttle bus that people can take

that was my first consideration

tarkineWild Bon Voyage!

Am planning to shuttle bus from Hong Kong to macau with my family on dec 22

Same here.

What's insane about having a nice bridge that allows people to cross the water easier.

@@guynxtdork I think you need comment sense in order to understand what Keybraker is trying to say.

@@wt1318 By all means, "literally" has been used figuratively for a long time.

Cost less time and less money in the long run. It boosts economic growth.

The comment is an obviously complimentary one, I don't believe I have to sya that, but what I find insane is the fact that they build a bridge crossing such a large distance.

Well when you jam pack and unite a billion people its possible

KC Executive *and starve and execute million but let’s ignore that*

KC Executive however China is an extremely new country so I can understand a bit

@@Ethan-vj5mt New country ?!?! What do you mean by that

KC Executive like what, 80 years that’s long the CCP is now

... let us hope it will be safe - only time will tell

@@brucewayne3602 It is already been tested by mangkhut super thypoon

You love suprressive communism and critical censorship..??? Seriously... . Remember Tianamese square... Remember Tibet... And then you compare China...

​@@sudhanvaurs4007 You know nothing about Tiananmen square and Tibet. You just believe anti-China propaganda. You like to make comparisons? Compare these. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GRb4VY2dU4c.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q-W-7WPWfE4.html

It is an white elephant project. The project budget cost was HK$6.8 billion but the final cost was HK$120 billion (1665%). The design minimum traffic rate to initiate the project was 9,200 number/day. The actual was four thousand something. It did not reach half of the minimum design rate. The income could not even balance the operating cost.

Hi

so sad

@@ewgegkeugrwug1739 not that bad, Indian friends can create new world record.

Your statement is an understatement.

don't worry America built one wtc for almost 11 years, you are not alone India, America with you hahahahaha

@Fook Oh Wong pretty laughable, I would suggest looking up patent US3849821A. Like most things from China its not original work and made cheaply(laziness). These technologies being used are old and this bridge isn't the first of its kind. Sure its long, but like most engineering features: it isn't about how great it looks, but how practical and easily maintainable it is in today's society. My guess, all that fake concrete will erode 2X as fast. We will see in time. In the meantime, be aware of emotionally(music in the video) strewn propaganda.

@@MrMcguire89 Jealous?

@@MrMcguire89 Butthurt American much?

China couldn't even make ball point pen until very recently

You might need visa, i think

Keep waiting lol

Would love to see hurricane video of that.

...and????

@@vuyaniphindani3179 And what? Still being there after a typhoon is not a answer to you?

@@user-ub2zl2qw2e And?

A BC quick qn, are you dumb or what ?

Thank you so much!!

Nah, Visit Philippines, where 15 years delay is NORMAL

Look at canada takes us 5 years to approve something then another 10-15 to start any project.. usa is still amazing at what they build not sure what you on about brother

Dennis Chu hong kong doesnt like china that might be why..

@Dennis Chu You're wrong, the really delay side is Macou.

you better visit mexico, where a 2 months highway can last up to 7 months :(

Thanks! There’s a night shot towards the end of the video.

THANK YOU!!

Wut hahaha I never look at subs and stuff but I was sure they would have over a million, this is better than highly financed TV content!

Haha, thank you!!

Definitely RU-vid... there's no fake drama and manufactured conflict that seems to exist in modern mainstream documentaries... because Producers tell them that's how you entice and keep viewers. RU-vid channels like The B1M, on the other hand, stick to facts, figures & interesting subjects, presented in a no-nonsense, clear & concise style. Bravo The B1M.

@@timothyjohns3561 Yes, I agree. Great RU-vid channels have long surpassed TV Documentations in terms of Production quality and content.

Oooo it’s in progress! We can’t say anymore! 😉

@@TheB1M ❤👍

gunhunter there is intercity railway on both the Hong Kong and the zhuhai side

No railway coz there's already one.

China is very huge. Country.. Peoples. Hard work. Mind. Iam india.. Kerala. Gods own country

426firefly that’s your stupid brainwashed media propaganda told you. The real story is 88% the locals eagerly await the bridge

Yep. The court and legislation is there to make sure everyone using it is safe and to prevent legal loopholes etc. What’s wrong with you? They had to also ensure that wildlife was also safe which obviously took more time.

they build bridges using british standards that's why it takes longer.

HongKong government built part of the bridge themselves at great cost ，and then it collapsed. lol.

Actually the bridge project was initiated by HK. Mainland wanted it to connect four cities, HK, Macao,Zhuhai and Shenzhen. But HK did not want to involve Shenzhen for Shenzhen can be a strong competitor to HK.

lmao no way

美國是多麼的自大,可笑

The US is also prosecuting the engineers for Intelectual theft for their engineering and Architectural designs 😂😂😂

@but2star😅😅😅

😂😂😂😂

Congratulations! GREAT CHOICE

hello thank for watch vedio. hope it increase your immigration big big time.

U can come and work in hk ... u can become rich.....

Haha, thanks. Sorry it took us so long to convince you! Welcome on board 👍👍

Due to corruption. The PI will never be wealthy until corruption is rooted out

9km is short

THANK YOU!!

We agree! thats why this is the best channel on youtube!

yeah but in this case, it would have actually been factual to call out the political motivation of the project and not call it an "effort to bring China and Hong Kong together for economic growth" because that statement is wrong the main motivation for the project was asserting political might over Hong Kong. Normally I don't really care about the political background but you don't have to go an extra mile and say things that are not exactly the truth to distract from it

@@laenadurlaire4606 anything and everything China does is to exert pressure on its neighbours, other territories - everyone knows that. This channel's objective is to focus on the construction side of it - not the policies - we have enough of other noise makes for that either for TRP or more views or real journalism! (By this I do not endorse China's actions and am against it - infact I have a greater threat from China than you may have as I'm just across the border.) It is a road and it does make travel quicker between the two. To enlighten you a bit, Hong Kong is already a part of China and was well connected already - and the Chinese don't need a road to extend their might over that territory - they have various ways - and have already done that. TheB1M has correctly said that this bridge brings the two places closer and still managed to take the politics out of it and focused on the engineering achievement aspect of it - you know why? Because that's what it does - it's a construction channel, not a geopolitical one. Remember, governments can change, but engineering feats like this will always remain. Piece of advice: learn to live with the dragon, unless you can slay it. Don't be butt-hurt with its strength.

Those rioters are now reaping what they sowed unwittingly on behalf of the geopolitical manipulators from across the Pacific Ocean. Some of them are now jobless in the UK, and may become rioters, or parents of rioters, in London in the future.

underrated comment

@CS Wong They have POLITICAL WILL - which is why they are coming out on top! The Westerners would cry waste of money if their government did something on this scale!

Currently there are strict restrictions on who can drive across the bridge, but there are shuttle buses that you and I can take

Even those holding driver’s licenses in Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China are struggling to get permission to drive on that bridge, bad luck :(

lol check engineering white book, the standard is partial damage, btw simple calculations the energe released in one sec at inner harbour operational speed is about 450000000 J, the standard for any sea crossing bridge support is well above that number lel

The light show is very meh...

Chinese building
