On November 30th, six coaches with nearly 300 builders and their families departed from the Zhuhai side of the Huangmaohai Cross-Sea Channel, offering them an early experience of the soon-to-open new passage. The Huangmaohai Cross-Sea Channel is an extension of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, connecting Jinwan in Zhuhai with Taishan in Jiangmen. Its five main towers stand tall, and the large "C" shaped route stretches across the Huangmaohai.

Wang Yadong, the owner's representative for the tower construction, shared with his wife the challenges of overcoming issues such as the "variable cross-sectional curve" in the intelligent construction of the tower columns. He has been involved in the construction of several bridge towers, often staying late into the night during concrete pouring. Wu Haozhu transferred from the Qingyuan-Yunfu Expressway to here at the end of 2020, serving as the head of the Engineering and Technology Department and the owner's representative for the T9 section. Over the past four years, he has moved from mountain highways to a cross-sea bridge, experiencing many changes and achieving much. Xian Hongwei is responsible for tasks like steel deck installation, and during tight schedules, he and his team start work at 5:30 AM and finish at 8:00 PM. Sun Yuennan, a bridge engineer, has participated in the construction of several major bridges and worked tirelessly during the 275-day steel box girder erection period.

As the first cross-sea channel project to commence after the release of the "Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area," the Huangmaohai Cross-Sea Channel follows the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link. After a year and a half of preparation and four and a half years of construction, the channel is scheduled to open in December. It will provide a critical connection between the Pearl River Delta and the coastal areas of western Guangdong.

300名建设者及家属提前体验黄茅海跨海通道

11月30日，6辆“建设者专列”载着近300名建设者及其家属，从黄茅海跨海通道珠海侧匝道出发上桥，提前体验即将通车的新通道。黄茅海跨海通道是港珠澳大桥西延线，连接珠海金湾与江门台山，其5座“小蛮腰”主塔矗立，大“C”路线横卧黄茅海。

王亚东作为塔柱施工业主代表，向护士妻子讲述攻克塔柱“变截曲面”智能建造等难题的经历，他参与多座桥塔建设，浇筑混凝土时常常蹲守至深夜。吴昊柱2020年底从清云高速转战于此，任工程技术部主管兼T9标业主代表，四年间从山区高速来到跨海大桥，经历诸多变化，收获满满。咸红伟负责钢桥面铺装等工作，工期紧时，他和团队每天早上五点半起，六点半到现场，晚上八点收工。孙悦楠身为桥梁工程师，参与多座大桥建设，在275天钢箱梁架设期内奋力拼搏。

作为《粤港澳大湾区发展规划纲要》发布后首个开工的跨海通道工程，继港珠澳大桥、深中通道之后，大湾区又一跨海通道黄茅海跨海通道历经一年半筹建，四年半建设，计划于12月开通，它将为珠三角通往粤西沿海地区打通重要突破口。
