Updated: 2021-02-18

Three tunnels opened in the middle of Small Hengqin Mt speeding Tianyu Road travel to the Hengqin Flower Corridor, Tianmu River Landscape Belt, and upcoming Macao New Neighborhood on Hengqin Island.

At the same time, Tianyu Road accepted traffic along its 3.9 km (2.5 miles). The new shortcut slices travel time between North Huandao Road and Gang'ao Avenue from 20 to 2 minutes as motorists no longer must circle the east-west mountain.

A significant part of the transport network in central Hengqin New Area, the north-south roadway goes 1.2 km (.75 mile) from North Huandao to Fengchuiluodai roads. The three 720-m (half-mile) tunnels accommodate two two-lane roads and a slow-traffic passageway.

The entrances of the two vehicular tunnels are paved with red asphalt and ceramic particles to increase safety, while the tunnel interiors have high-quality fireproofing and anti-humid enameled steel plates.

Hengqin's first slow-traffic passageway is naturally ventilated and bears creative paintings of Zhuhai and Macao landmarks such as Zhuhai Opera House, Ruins of Saint Paul's, and Macau Tower. It will be promoted as a popular art space in line with the development plan of Hengqin International Leisure Tourism Island.

Built to Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge standards, the tunnels were constructed so as to preserve the original ecological environment, according to Guo Rihua, deputy general manager of Zhuhai Da Heng Qin. In addition, he said, the tunnels adopt the domestically leading concept of centralized maintenance, and serve as a model project in Hengqin.
