  Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (港珠澳大橋) is a giant proposed series of bridges and tunnels that would connect the west side of Hong Kong with Macau and the neighbouring city of Zhuhai, situated on the west side of the Pearl River Delta, and part of mainland China's southern industrial powerhouse.
At the third meeting of the Mainland/Hong Kong Conference on the Co-ordination of Major Infrastructure Projects (the Conference) held on 20 September 2002, it was agreed that a joint study should be conducted on the transport linkage between Hong Kong and Pearl River West.
Therefore, authorities from three sides have proposed that a detailed study be conducted on the impacts of the project on the habitats of rare tree frogs, horseshoe crabs and Chinese white dolphins.

The Guangdong government is having second thoughts on the bridge because of its aspirations to replace Hong Kong as the finance and logistics center of the region.

The time needed for driving from the west of the Pearl River Delta to Hong Kong would be shortened by half an hour, or 30km, hence creating a "living circle within a three-hour drive", which would be especially convenient for Guangdong residents wishing to pay a one-day visit to Hong Kong.
