The Lands, Public Works and Transport Bureau (DSSOPT) said in a statement yesterday that the government has hired CCCC Highway Consultants Co. Ltd. Macau Branch to carry out a feasibility study on the construction of two tunnels either on the west or the east side of the old Macau-Taipa bridge, or a tunnel on either side.
The statement also said the study was expected to cost the public coffers 7.2 million patacas. The feasibility study is to be completed within 260 days.
CCCC refers to state-owned China Communications Construction Company.
