The Hong Kong government on the 13th conducted the first large-scale drill at
the Hong Kong side of Huanggang port, testing pedestrian and vehicle flow
management at the joint inspection building and the public transport interchange
ahead of the crossing’s opening. Hong Kong said an early opening with Shenzhen
is a shared goal and pledged close cooperation to accelerate preparations. Once
both sides confirm safe, smooth operations, the Guangdong and Hong Kong
governments will set and publicly announce an official opening date.
