In an interview with the media from Hong Kong and Macao on November 11, Zhang Xiaoqiang, vice minister of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), said if work from all parties is goes on smoothly and if conditions are ready, they will strive to start construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge by the end of 2009.
Zhang said that currently the relevant departments are busy making adjustments and improvements to the existing feasibility report, primarily focusing on the financial aspects. Once submitted to the NDRC, the report will be examined and verified without delay. If the examination and verification proves that all aspects of the arguments are reasonable, we will submit it to the State Council for approval as soon as possible. After the feasibility report is approved, the design and preparation for construction can start.
