The world’s longest bridge, which includes a 6.7 km tunnel, will be inaugurated by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
A section consists of two 163-meter pylons that lift the bridge high enough for giant container ships to pass under it.
The bridge includes a 6.7-km tunnel under the Pearl River estuary that is connected via two artificial islands.
The bridge can withstand monster gales with speed of up to 360km/h and has a lifespan of over 100 years.
A one-way bus ride to Macau from Hong Kong will cost $15.30 per person, and cars would have to pay a toll of $22 for each trip.
It will reduce travel time from Hong Kong to Macau and the Chinese city of Zhuhai from a 1 hour 30 minute ferry journey to a 30-minute bus ride.
Construction of the multibillion-dollar bridge began in December 2009 and a majority of the work was complete by mid-2017
