The Highways Department and Ove Arup & Partners have signed an agreement for the detailed design of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities Reclamation Works.

The artificial island will have a reclaimed area of 150 hectares to provide mainly for passenger clearance and cargo processing facilities, including 20 hectares of land required for the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link.

The reclamation works are scheduled to start in the third quarter of 2010.
