Site visit: Members of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Advance Work Coordination Group visit the various spots suggested as the bridge's landing points.

As a greater part of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge falls within the Mainland and most of the front end of the project involves a lot of administrative and approval procedures in the Mainland, a special office will be set up in Guangzhou to oversee the project, Secretary for the Environment, Transport & Works Dr Sarah Liao says.

Speaking after attending the second meeting of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Advance Work Coordination Group held today in Zhuhai, Dr Liao said the meeting had reached some concrete results, adding that a decision was also made to directly appoint a design institute in the Mainland to conduct the feasibility study and produce a report.

The criteria for selecting this institute is that it must have the technical know-how and relevant experience. It should also be familiar with the Pearl River Delta procedures, she added.
