At 0:00 on April 1, the third phase of Hengqin Port Macao Light Rail Extension to Hengqin Line reserved space was formally handed over to the Macao SAR Government. The project will strive to open to traffic within this year.
Construction of the Macao Light Rapid Transit Taipa Line Extension to Hengqin Port project commenced on March 18, 2021. The project mainly comprises an elevated bridge, a subaqueous tunnel and two stations. The alignment begins with the HE1 Station next to the Lotus Flower Bridge Station on the Macao Taipa Line in an elevated manner, gradually descending along the Lotus Flower Bridge, passing through the subaqueous tunnel under the Seac Pai Van Channel to enter the Cooperation Zone, and finally ends at the HE2 Station below the basement of the Hengqin Port, with a total length of about 2.2 kilometers and a tunnel section of about 900 meters.
The civil construction and train system engineering for the Macao Light Rapid Transit (LRT) Hengqin Line extension project have been basically completed, and equipment debugging is underway, with the electromechanical equipment and train system linkage test on the Macao side having started in January this year. After the handover of the reserved space for the Macao LRT extension to Hengqin Port to the Macao SAR government, it will not only facilitate the construction management of the entire project, but also create conditions for carrying out the electromechanical equipment and train system linkage test for the whole line of the project.
The Macau Light Rail Taipa Line Extension to Hengqin project is scheduled to complete acceptance and pre-trial operation in October 2024. At that time, people can take the Guangzhou-Zhuhai Intercity Railway from Guangzhou South to Hengqin Station, pass through the Hengqin Port, and directly take the Macau Light Rail Taipa Line Extension to Hengqin. Take the Hengqin Station (HE2) to Lotus Station (HE1) and then transfer to the Taipa Line.
Taking the Taipa Line will provide you with more options. Not only can you go to the Macau Airport, Taipa Ferry Terminal and various hotels and resorts in Cotai, but you can also cross the sea to reach the Macau Peninsula, where you can tour the renowned attractions, including A-Ma Temple and Maritime Museum.
