148. Spanning Lingdingyang, the HZMB will be the longest bridge-cum-tunnel sea crossing in the world. It will provide a direct land link between Hong Kong and the west coast of the Pearl River Delta, and bring significant impact on the development of the logistics, commerce, trade, tourism and other industries. We are pressing ahead with the works of the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities and the Hong Kong Link Road which will connect with the HZMB, as well as the discussion with the Mainland and Macao authorities on various cross-boundary transport arrangements, so as to dovetail with the commissioning of the whole bridge.

149. Other large-scale road projects, such as the Tuen Mun- Chek Lap Kok Link, the Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link, the Tseung Kwan O-Lam Tin Tunnel, the widening of Fanling Highway and the Hiram’s Highway improvement works, are being taken forward at full speed.
