Xinhua Beijing, November 2, the State Council approved the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Project Feasibility Study Report, means that the controversy over the 26-load Bridge topic ended.  The authorities involved in the bridge report revealed that because the bridge is the first world-class bridge in China involving "one country, two systems", the difficulty of coordination is unprecedented, and the bridge landing point, bridge type line, port mode and financing arrangement become the four focuses of the three-party game. According to the Hong Kong Grand Bulletin, after 26 years, the first large-scale sea-crossing bridge involving the Chinese special Economic Zone and two special administrative regions, twists, how to build and who to build the dispute.  Authoritative sources said that recently approved by the State Council of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge workers can report on its "past and present life" more specific overview. As early as 1983, Gordon, chairman of the Hong Kong Hopewell Group of the "Road King", proposed the construction of a Lingdingyang bridge linking Hong Kong and Zhuhai, which led to continuous discussions between the two sides, but plunged into a "hot and cold" situation in the mainland and Hong Kong government.  The source said that the bridge workers can report that "the December 1997 State Planning Commission approved the ' Lingdingyang Bridge ' project proposal, but for various reasons, the construction of the bridge has so far not made substantial progress." According to sources, it took the Hong Kong government 19 years to recognise its support for the bridge project. In the early 2003, the chief executive announced in his policy address the promotion of the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge; in July, the National Development and Reform Commission and the HKSAR Government jointly commissioned the study on transport links between Hong Kong and the West Bank of the Pearl River and the fourth meeting of the mainland and Hong  The representative of Hong Kong and Macao unanimously affirmed the necessity and urgency of the bridge, which has special political and economic significance. In early August 2003, the State Council approved the establishment of a Hong Kong-led bridge preparatory work Coordination Group to carry out all the preliminary work. According to the source, early work began with the Hong Kong and Guangdong government "single Y" (A bridge even Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao) and "Double Y" (a bridge to the Hong Kong-Shenzhen-Zhuhai-Macao) scheme, and finally the Guangdong side to take a step back to closure.  According to the bridge workers can report that by April 2004, "The Guangdong side wants to have a bridge in four places", but ultimately respects the views of the SAR and follows the central decision. Subsequently, the Guangdong-Australia side of the bridge in the West Bank landing point "arch North Pearl, Wang Bei" also ignited controversy smoke.  Among them, the Guangdong side recommended "From Bei ' an Macau through one or two, three bridge after connecting to the" scheme ", while the Australian side is not opposed to the Zhuhai lien harp, but the Pearl, the Pearl, the request in the technology is not going to take into consideration Bei, clear against the bridge or under the underwater tunnel through the one or two, three bridges. Sources said the dispute had been extended to April 2005, the National Development and Reform Commission presided over the bridge Bridge Technology Program demonstration will be finalized, "Hong Kong scattered Shiwan ~ Arch North Pearl" program, and seek military advice, from the reduction of shipping and related industrial development constraints, conducive to national defense security considerations, Recognition (North Line)  Bridge and tunnel combination scheme is better than (South line) whole bridge scheme. However, the dispute of Port location, inspection mode and financing arrangementSoon became an obstacle. The source said, "Three inspection" or "three to three" choice is relatively good to discuss, by July 2006, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council coordinated, the Territory has given up the "three inspection", and agreed to adopt the "three-ground three-inspection" port model; But the financing benefit game appearing in the later stage of the bridge study has become the restriction when the bridge  The biggest stumbling block to the horse, because at this time the bridge cost has risen from 2003 30 billion (renminbi, the same same) soaring to 55 billion yuan.  In order to speed up the coordination of interests, the State Council in December 2006, special approval set up by the National Development and Reform Commission, the State Council, Hong Kong and Macao Office, the Ministry of Transport led the Task Force, immediately in January 2007 convened the first meeting, the main bridge and the port, the link line of the principle of the Subsequently, after more than 1.5 bargaining, finally last August, the bridge cost increased to 72 billion when the external disclosure of financing arrangements: the main project using the government's full capital, outside the capital part of the Hong Kong and Macao, the establishment of the project legal person loans, the three governments are responsible for the port and the link line investment  Last December, the bridge workers can report formally to the central government for approval. The source pointed out that the bridge involves three three kinds of systems, in the laws and regulations, construction standards and management procedures are large differences, reflected in the project Cross-border construction, construction, operation and other management issues need to be coordinated to solve the problem, so the recent State Council approved by the bridge workers can report a separate 30 million yuan for the three coordination fee,  and 100 million Yuan advisory inspection fee, used in the early stage of the project and the construction process to employ domestic and foreign consulting units and experts on the bridge Technology and management, and other aspects of the consultation and audit, or in the construction, construction and other related projects abroad to study research. At the same time, it is required to set up a specialized agency as soon as possible to expedite research and coordination to solve the problems related to laws, regulations, technical standards and construction procedures that may be involved in the implementation of the project, and as soon as the bridge starts in December this year, the whole work plan including fund arrangement and construction The three-place port and the connection line synchronized coordination was completed in 2015-2016 to be opened to traffic.
