Stamp Issue “Macao Bridge”
27/09/2024 15:27
Macao Post and Telecommunications Bureau will
issue the stamp theme “Macao
Bridge” on
1st October,
2024. The Macao Bridge is
located on the east side of the Friendship
Bridge, spans over the Outer Harbour Channel
and the Macao Channel. It connects Macao’s
three important ports of sea, land and air,
and is a key node in the construction of
Macao’s urban transportation system. With the
undulating curves of space truss originating
from the soft contours of the waves, combined
with its stunning landscape, the Bridge will
become a new landmark of Macao, adding colour
to the city.
The Macao Bridge is the first two-way
eight-lane sea-crossing bridge in Macao. The
construction of the Bridge has adopted new
materials, new construction processes, new
technologies, new equipment, and smart
construction management. After the official
opening of the Bridge, it will not only
optimise the travel environment for
residents, but also improve the overall
regional transportation network in Macao.
This issue includes a set of two stamps and
one souvenir sheet. The two stamps show the
day and night scenes from different
perspectives and the wave-like space trusses
of the bridge in simple compositions and soft
tones. The main visual of the souvenir sheet
includes the architecture of the Macao
Bridge, with a ferry passing under the
Bridge, showing the beauty of both vibrance
and serenity. The background features the
silhouette of the Macao map, marking the
location of the Bridge.
The above issue will be available for sale at
the General Post Office (9:00a.m. to
2:00p.m.), and the Communications Museum
(9:00a.m. to 2:00p.m.). The mail service for
the philatelic products cancelled with the
