The Macau government announced yesterday that Macau permanent residents who are gainfully employed or running a company in Hong Kong can apply for a permit to drive their cars into the neighbouring city via the Hong-Kong-Zhuhai-Macau (HKZM) Bridge – colloquially known as delta bridge.
The mega-bridge is widely expected to open to traffic later this year. Its opening date is yet to be announced by the central government.
According to an announcement published in the Official Gazette (BO) yesterday, the local government will issue 600 permits for Macau-registered cars to travel to and from Hong Kong via the delta bridge under a regular quota initiative. Among the 600 permits valid for one year, 300 will be for individual applicants while the other 300 will be for Macau-registered companies.
