Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macau have struck a deal on the financing of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge's construction. Hong Kong will be responsible for 50.2%, the mainland 35.1% and Macau 14.7%. The ratio reflects the economic benefits to each location. Now that the deal is in place, the bridge advance work co-ordination group can start preparation for the tendering by investors, said Hong Kong secretary for transport and housing Eva Cheng. She added that engineering and technical studies will start as soon as possible. The main body of the bridge will be about 29.6km long.
