Construction of a bridge linking Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China has been given the green light following a legal challenge. China’s state news agency, Xinhua reported that a court in Hong Kong ruled that the development could proceed, after an environmental permit for the bridge had initially been turned down.
The bridge is being built across the Pearl River Delta, linking Hong Kong and Macau with the city of Zhuhai, in Guangdong province. Construction is scheduled to start in late 2010 and to be completed in 2016, at an estimated cost of CNY72.9 billion (US$11.4 billion).
