HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge to start construction in 2009 January 15, 2009

A mega bridge linking Hong Kong, Macau and Zhuhai will start the construction this year, said Du Ying, Vice Chairman of China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), at a press conference on Thursday.

The central government will allocate RMB 5 billion for the project and holds the idea the bridge can help the export enterprises within the area to sell their products in mainland China.

With a total length of 29 km, the bridge ranks the longest in the world, and is expected to enhance the overall competitiveness of the Pearl River Delta.
