Fresh bid to allay safety concerns over Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge, with senior official saying ‘we do things our way’
Bridge authority also releases images showing placement of concrete blocks in artificial island’s breakwater when it was first completed, as well as photos taken before and after Typhoon Hato
A senior official at the mainland Chinese authority managing the multibillion-dollar bridge that links Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macau has reiterated that there are no safety issues with the cross-border infrastructure project, saying “we build things our way”.
Chung will meet the press on Monday to disclose his findings from the visit to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Authority, a Highways Department spokesman said.
Aerial photographs of the eastern artificial island last week showed a jagged shoreline with some dolosse at one end separated from the structure, which was built by the Chinese side, and is managed by the authority.
The authority has since released at least two press statements to clarify the issue, but has been unable to fully assuage concerns in Hong Kong.
