The predecessor of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is the originally planned Lingdingyang Bridge. In the early 1980s, although the land transportation routes between China, China, Hong Kong, China, Macau and China were continuously improved, the transportation links between Hong Kong and the west bank of the Pearl River Delta were restricted by the Lingdingyang barrier.
In the late 1990s, influenced by the Asian financial crisis, the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region considered it necessary to build a cross-sea passage connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao as soon as possible, so as to give full play to the advantages of Hong Kong and Macao and seek new economic growth points.
