The Project is extensive, large-scale, diversified and complexThe weather and marine environment are roughThe marine traffic is heavyOperating height is restrictedThe marine environment needs to be protectedThe long spans of the bridge

The deep channel is required to navigate 300,000-ton ships It requires a 80-m high bridge and a 200-m high bridge tower The Hong Kong International Airport does not allow anything higher than 88 mA bridge is technically impossible!

The air traffic channel is unobstructed The navigation channel is open at all timesThe length of the artificial islands is shortened from 1 km to 625 mThe longest immersed tunnel ever built – 6.7 km33 segments of 180 m long, 33 m wide and 11 m high, and weight 76,000 tons each

The artificial islands are necessary to provide the transition between the tunnel and the viaductsExistence of soft marine deposits of approximately 20 m thickBackfilling with rock is practically not feasibleDredging of such large quantities of soft marine deposits will adversely impact the environment

The new direct route will avoid detouring and help minimize use of fossil fuels and gas emissions by vehiclesIt helps to reduce vehicle CO2 emission by at least 1,100 tonne/dayThe adoption of the non-dredging method for the reclamation of the HKBCF reduces the quantity of soft marine deposits to be dredged and disposed of by 97%, the quantity of backfilling materials by 50%, and the marine construction traffic by 50%

Combining the reclamations for the HKBCF and the Southern Landfall of the TM-CLKL sub-sea tunnel reduces the total length of seawalls by 1.8 km, minimizing the impact on the marine environmentThe adoption of TBMs for the construction of the approximately 5 km sub-sea road tunnel for the Northern Connection of the TM-CLKL will avoid the dredging and disposal of some 11 Mm3 of marine sediments required for construction using the traditional immersed tube method
The non-dredging method of reclamation will reduce the quantity of suspended particles by 70% during construction

Non-dredging methods are adopted for reclamation and seawall construction No underwater percussive piling is allowedNo formation of underwater rock sockets for bored piles is allowed during the peak dolphin calving season in May and JuneNoisy construction equipment mounted on marine construction vessels is acoustically-decoupled to minimize underwater noise
Marine construction vessels have to follow pre-defined regular travel routes to avoid the active areas of Chinese While DolphinsMarine construction vessels have to travel at a speed lower than 10 knots in the areas of work site, marine park and proposed marine parkSkipper of marine construction vessels working in the areas have to undergo specific training on local dolphins and porpoises

A dolphin exclusion zone (DEZ) of 250 m radius is implemented during the silt curtain installation and the bored pile casing installation worksWorks will be suspended if any dolphin is found within the DEZSilt curtain enclosed areas are regularly checked and works will be suspended if any dolphin is found within the enclosed areaThe population of Chinese White Dolphins in the northwestern waters of Hong Kong is regularly monitored
The best available construction practices are adopted to minimize sediment dispersion during construction, and to avoid impact on water quality
