The Chinese government has announced that it will pursue a five-year old plan to build an 18 mile bridge connecting Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China.
The bridge plan was first introduced in 2003, but was quickly postponed
due to high costs. The government is now looking for private investors,
offering them a return on their investment through toll charges, The
Telegraph reports. The total cost could be USD6 bn, with Guangdong
province, Hong Kong and Macau paying USD2.6 bn, and the remainder
raised from private investors.
The bridge will start on Hong Kong's Lantau island, crossing to Macau
and eventually linking with the city of Zhuhai, Guangdong province.
