Serious design flaws in the immigration building of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge could be deadly for workers, engineering experts warned on Monday, with power supply rooms located in the basement prone to water seepage.

The warning came after video footage emerged showing serious flooding and water seepage in a basement inside the passenger clearance building – built on an artificial island – on the Hong Kong side of the multibillion-dollar mega bridge, including the transformer room and switch room.
