Macau LRT Seac Pai Van and Hengqin extension lines commence operations

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has commenced commercial operations for the Macau Light Rapid Transit (Macau LRT) Seac Pai Van and Hengqin Extension Lines.

The Seac Pai Van Line, which includes two new stations and a transfer station expansion over 1.6km, began operations in November, while the Hengqin Line, with two station expansions over 2.2km, opened this month.

The Seac Pai Van Line is set to improve access to a new large general hospital and facilitate movement between the Macau Peninsula and Taipa Island.

The Hengqin Line aims to bolster economic development by increasing cross-border traffic with Mainland China.

A consortium comprising MHI, Top Builders Macau, and Hou Chun Construction and Engineering executed the project.

The extensions build on the existing Taipa Line, which MHI delivered in 2019, and are expected to improve transportation links to Seac Pai Van, a residential area, and to Hengqin in Mainland China.
