Cars with valid Closed Road Permits (CRPs) going to or returning from Zhuhai Port will be allowed to use the bridge without restriction.
The department will introduce approval letters from Jan. 21 and March 25 respectively to Closed Road Permits (CRPs) holders for crossings durig first and second phase trials.
The trial period will tentatively cover two years. The arrangement is not applicable to vehicles travelling to Macao Port over the bridge.
