Government appeals to citizens to plan their trips via Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge in advance during long weekend of July 1 holiday

******************************************************************************************

     The Transport and Logistics Bureau (TLB) announced today (June 28) that during the long weekend of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day holiday (July 1 holiday), there may be a large number of passengers travelling to and from the Mainland or Macao via various land-based boundary control points (BCPs). The Transport Department (TD) will closely monitor the traffic conditions at all ports, and in particular will strengthen the dissemination of the latest traffic information to citizens who use the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) to travel between the three places.

     The TD has put in place corresponding traffic and transportation arrangements at various land-based BCPs. The TD's Emergency Transport Co-ordination Centre will operate 24 hours to monitor traffic conditions of the ports and major stations, implement response measures in due course, and disseminate the latest traffic information through various channels, including radio broadcasts, the TD's mobile application "HKeMobility", and the TD's website.

     The TD anticipates that there will be increased cross-boundary vehicles using the HZMB to depart and return to Hong Kong on the first day (June 29) and the last day (July 1) of the long weekend of the July 1 holiday respectively. The TD will closely monitor the operation of the HZMB, especially the clearance and traffic conditions at the HZMB Port during peak hours. Citizens can check the situation of the Hong Kong Port through the newly added real-time snapshots of traffic conditions at the vehicle clearance plaza of HZMB Hong Kong Port on the TD's mobile application "HKeMobility"; access the WeChat official accounts "hzmbzhport" or "zhuhaifabu", which provide real-time vehicle clearance situations of HZMB Zhuhai port (traffic-info.gzazhka.com:5015/#/) (Chinese only); as well as access the WeChat official account of the HZMB integrated information dissemination platform (mp.weixin.qq.com/s/mT9D9et-FybKKXDw9nJ9Dg) (Chinese only) to check the forecast of peak hours of inbound and outbound vehicles at the HZMB Zhuhai Port. The TD will issue the latest information through traffic notices and the TD's website, and will also send emails to citizens who have made bookings for travel under "Northbound Travel for Hong Kong Vehicles" during the long weekend of the July 1 holiday, reminding them to plan their trips returning to Hong Kong in advance, and travel during non-peak periods as far as possible.
