Artificial island completed on mega-link in Guangdong

The main structure of an artificial island — part of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link — was completed on Tuesday, marking another milestone for the mega-project, which will open next year.

Linking the eastern and western banks of the estuary of the Pearl River, the project consists of two man-made islands, a sea tunnel and two bridges.

The eastern artificial island is located south of the Shenzhen Baoan International Airport, connecting a passage to the riverside Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway on the east and the sea tunnel on the west.
