The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge’s (HKZMB) Macau section will be closed on November 24 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., in order to make way for the 2024 Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau Road Cycling Race and the 15th National Games Road Cycling Test Event on that day, according to a statement issued by the organising committee for the 15th National Games yesterday.
Accordingly, cars will be barred from entering the lane to the HKZMB Macau checkpoint building from 8 a.m. on that day, the statement said. Meanwhile, the Macau Bridge will also be closed to traffic from 4 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on that day.
As the Hong Kong-Macau cross-boundary passenger transport service will be temporarily suspended during the affected period, members of the public and travellers are advised to make travel arrangements in advance or defer their trips, or go to other checkpoints to cross the border during the suspension, and those travelling to and from Hong Kong, may consider taking a ferry, the statement said.
Therefore, the government has requested the ferry companies plying the Hong Kong-Macau route to increase the number of trips, the statement said.
The 15th National Games will organise a cross-border cycling event linking Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau, with the Macau section totalling 13.5-kilometres.
The Macau route will start from the artificial island of the HKZMB, cross the Macau Bridge and go along Estrada de Pac On (北安大馬路), and return to the Macau Bridge at the ferry terminal in Pac On (北安碼頭), and then leave Macau through the HKZMB Macau checkpoint, before continuing to Hong Kong for the next leg.
