HK, Zhuhai, Macao Bridge hit three most acceleration of Hong Kong-Macao economic integration process

On the 10 anniversary of the reunification of Macao with the Motherland, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge commenced construction 15th. The bridge is estimated to cost over $70 billion and is jointly funded by the Centre and the Government of Hong Kong, Guangdong and Macao. The bridge is expected to be opened from 2015 to 2016.　　After the completion of the bridge, the distance from Zhuhai to Hong Kong will be shortened from the present 3.5 hours to half an hour, and the current 3 hours will be shortened to 1 hours by road between the two places. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge will be the "three most" after its completion.　　The longest sea-crossing bridge in the world: length of about 50 km, over 35 km across the sea; the world's Hardest bridge: The bridge will be built 6 kilometers long submarine tunnels, its construction technology is the most difficult in the world, the mainland is expected to the most longevity bridge: 120 years of service life, can resist the eight-magnitude earthquake. The bridge will be the world's most dynamic economic zone in 1983, the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge was first proposed, and the bridge was finally started today.　　After the completion of the bridge to Hong Kong, Macao and the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone links and promote, so that the three Governments and domestic experts and scholars full of vision and imagination.　　The joint construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge is a world-focused initiative, can showcase "one country, two systems" more successful process and the Chinese in the building design and environmental protection new technology strength, after the completion will become the world only has no two social system, the geographical three waters bridge, regardless of from the political, the economy and so on many aspects are the historical new stage. According to statistics, nearly 210,000 Hong Kong people work in the mainland and some 500,000 Hong Kong people reside in the mainland. The senior research director of Hong Kong's "one country, two systems" Research center, Ark said the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge is a major project of mutual benefit, which will accelerate the process of economic integration between Hong Kong and Macao, enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of the PRD, and further strengthen the position of HK as a logistics, service and financial centre in the region, which is of great significance to the stability of Macao's prosperity　　The construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge will reduce the time cost of the three-land flow and logistics, effectively integrate resources and strengthen the role of Hong Kong in the PRD metropolitan area. "The construction of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is conducive to the further integration of Hong Kong and Macao into the Pearl River Delta region, helping to coordinate the development planning of the three space and urban agglomerations," Yuhong, a researcher at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences. "The first starting point of the Zhuhai-Macao Port Bridge is Hong Kong Dayushan, via Tai O, across the Pearl River estuary Lingdingyang Sea, and finally into Y-shaped, one end connected to Zhuhai and one end connected to Macau." The appearance of the whole bridge is the most prominent sign of the offshore artificial island and the main span cable-stayed bridge.　　Among them, in the Green Island Waterway section with the largest net span of the bridge, the main span of "twin-tower double cable steel box girder cable-stayed bridge" is adopted as the most outstanding appearance of the bridge. Today, the first start of the project is the Zhuhai-Macao Port artificial island reclamation. Located on the south side of Zhuhai Arch North Bay, the Zhuhai-Macao artificial island is the connecting center of the main project of the Pearl-Macao Bridge and the two places. It is reported that the construction of artificial island is very difficult to knock out the mud to the hard part, and then build dams, emptying seawater, sand, mud, soil backfill, forming a total area of 217 hectares of artificialIsland, it takes three years to build.　　It is worth mentioning that, according to the State Council approved the project feasibility study of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the Port adopted the "three inspection" of the layout, of which Zhuhai, Macao on the same artificial island to build independent jurisdiction of the port, both separate settings and connectivity. It is reported that in addition to the artificial island at the Zhuhai-Macao port, there are also Hong Kong ports and two tunnels.　　Artificial island will be able to defend the Pearl River estuary 300 years of flood, become a transportation, governance, service, rescue and sightseeing functions as one integrated Operation Center.　　Private car bridge or pay hundred yuan Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge construction cost huge, in addition to the government capital, the bridge construction needs a lot of loans, the bridge opened to traffic will charge repayment. It is reported that a total of three types of car charging scheme.　　Recently, the Secretary for Transport and housing, Ms Eva Cheng, said that according to the latest financing arrangements, the three governments would be sympathetic to the need to reduce the toll on the bridge as far as possible, such as a one-way vehicle estimated at $100 and a freight vehicle of $200.　　Ju Yongling, director of the early co-ordination group of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, said that the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge would be open for a number of years and that the ultimate fee standard should be determined and announced only three months before the opening of the charges.　　Although the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge does not plan to reserve rail traffic, the project feasibility study on the bridge has been approved to require the provision of a roundtrip shuttle bus between the three major crossings to provide a convenient public transport transit service for travellers. There have been concerns that the bridge will not be able to recover its capital because of the limited number of vehicles available on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge due to the current cross-boundary vehicle quota.　　In response, Ju Yongling said that the number of cross-boundary vehicle quotas would be adjusted and liberalized in the light of future improvements to the port and additional cross-border crossings.　　The construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge has left the people of the three land full of yearning for a new life. Concerned about the bridge is also concerned about the large scale of the ecological port, Pearl and Macao Bridge, the appearance of dazzling, built will become the Pearl River Mouth landmark beauty. It is reported that the bridge only plans a separate landscape project costs as much as 50 million yuan, and also proposed to set up a white dolphin viewing and sea viewing platform.　　Standing on the bridge to enjoy the magnificent sea view, watch the white dolphin dream of cruising, will become a three-person another way of tourism. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge will cross the White Dolphin Sanctuary for about 9 kilometres, with a sea width of about 2 kilometres. How to minimize the damage and impact of the bridge on marine ecology? How to add a humanistic beauty while not destroying the original natural beauty? The reporter learned from the relevant parties that the construction of the bridge is very environmental protection.　　In the construction of the bridge will be implemented near the "harsh" environmental protection measures, the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is expected to set a model for future projects in environmental protection. It is reported that in the construction of the bridge budget, there will be 270 million yuan dedicated to environmental protection, white dolphin special research and protection costs up to 120 million yuan. All on-site workers also need a certificate to go through the White Dolphin protection training. Before piling and excavation work, the construction staff should continuously inspect for more than 5 minutes within a 500-metre perimeter to ensure that no white dolphin activity can be constructed before construction. Every year March to 8The month is the peak season for the breeding of white dolphins, as far as possible to avoid sensitive construction activities such as blasting and piling. In addition to protection measures, the construction of the bridge will give the public more opportunities to be close to and love the white dolphins. It is reported that in the bridge offshore artificial island or along the appropriate areas, the white dolphin breeding area is expected to set up white dolphin sculpture and white dolphin viewing area.　　After completion of the project, a marine park will be set up in the Hong Kong size sharpening state to enhance conservation of the Chinese white Dolphins and the marine ecology.
