Causeways

Macau had one causeway when Coloane and Taipa were separate islands. The roadway was not a bridge, but a road built on top of the water. The two islands have since been infilled and the former causeway is now an inland roadway.

Tunnels

Macau currently has several tunnels. One connects two neighbourhoods on Macau Peninsula cutoff by hills, and one connects Cotai with University of Macau Hengqin Campus. There are also other tunnels on the island of Taipa.
