The proposed bridge over the Pearl River Delta may include a rail track in addition to road traffic.
Hong Kong loves it`s bridges and it seems every opportunity is taken to connect it`s land masses together. An ambitious project to connect Lantau island in Hong Kong with Macau and Zhuhai on the Chinese Mainland will be the longest yet.
Spanning 35 kilometres over the Pearl River Delta, the bridge was conceived initially as a road bridge. Now calls are being made for an additional rail track to be incorporated in to the development.
Lantau is Hong Kong's largest island and hosts the international airport.
The bridge already is estimated to cost HK$43 billion and no doubt the price will be much higher by the time it is completed in 2016.
