With a total length of 6,845 meters, the underwater tunnel consists of 5,035-meter-long prefabricated immersed tubes, including 32 ones and a final joint. The Shenzhen-Zhongshan highway, which is scheduled to open to traffic in 2024, is expected to cut the travel time between the two cities from two hours to about 20 minutes. (Xinhua/Liu Dawei)
