The link drastically reduces travel time between Shenzhen and Zhongshan from two hours to approximately 30 minutes. The project is a significant component of the Greater Bay Area's infrastructure plan, enhancing connectivity and economic integration in the region. Over 7,000 vehicles passed through the link in the first hour after its opening.
