Preparatory work for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge project has been approved along with the continuation of studies on the feasibility of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link.
Both governments agreed to monitor closely the construction progress of the HK-Shenzhen Western Corridor with the objective of seeing through its opening by the second half of 2006. Discussion has already begun on the regulation of cross-boundary traffic following its opening.
