After being blighted by construction of Gongbei checkpoint, river is set to be transformed into an eco corridor that will become an asset to both cities.
The 1,600-metre line will feature two stations – one at the new Islands hospital complex – and is due to open by Christmas 2023.
E-channels will speed up access to the new zone, while construction on bridges and an LRT link to the island are due to start shortly.
New bids, with quotations topping MOP 1 billion, are now under consideration for the 1.6-kilometre link.
Previous bids failed to come up to scratch; new tenders must complete the 1.6-kilometre line in 890 working days.
Government turns down all 10 tenders due to low bids and unrealistic construction times; plans to relaunch soon.
With 100 e-channels and slicker customs and immigration formalities, the new 24/7 crossing – built by Macao – is set to become the fast track to and from Zhuhai.
