The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge is a construction project which consists of a series of bridges and tunnels crossing the Lingdingyang channel that will connect Hong KongMacau and Zhuhai, three major cities on the Pearl River Delta in China. The 50 kilometres (31 miles) link is expected to cost US$10.6 billion (HK$83 billion).With its length, it would become one of the landmarks within the area. The longest bridge section will be 29.6 kilometres (18.4 mi) long and will include three cable-stayed spans between 280 and 460 metres (920 and 1,510 ft).Construction formally began on 15 December 2009.The last bridge tower was erected on June 2, 2016.The last straight

-element of the 4860 meter long immersed tunnel was installed on July 12, 2016. Originally set to be opened to traffic on October 15, 2016 the project is at least a year late and now is due to open in December 2017.

A close colaboration between Dutchlamp, our distributor and the electrical engineers of the project resulted into a total new design of a cable block (IM 6x32-48), which are now being installed for this total project.
