The HZMB is unique in many ways. It's designed to have a service life of 120 years, 20 years longer than most bridges. And it's not just a bridge, but also part tunnel (隧道) and part island. In one section, the bridge turns into a 6.7km undersea tunnel that passes through two man-made islands. The tunnel is the world's longest undersea tunnel for road traffic, allowing large ships to continue passing through the sea area above the tunnel.

The bridge's engineers had to think of many environmental factors (因素) in order to protect the surrounding (周围的) environment while building the bridge. Chinese white dolphins, an endangered species that lives in the area, were a particular concern (关注).
The HZMB will make it much more convenient to travel between the three areas it connects. It will shorten the travel time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai from four hours to about 45 minutes.
