A 1,000-space automated car park designed to boost travel to Hong Kong will be opened later this year near a cross-border bridge linking the city to Macau and Guangdong province’s Zhuhai, the transport minister has said.
Lam Sai-hung, the transport and logistics secretary, revealed on Monday it was hoped the new car park would attract more drivers from nearby cities to Hong Kong or to use its airport.
He explained travellers driving to the city using the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge would be able to leave their vehicles at the car park and transport would be available to take them to the airport.
The first phase of the facility, which will be able to hold 6,000 cars when fully completed, is scheduled to be ready by the end of the year, Lam said in a radio interview.
“The main aim of the new car park is to serve two groups of travellers,” Lam explained. “First, if you come by car from Macau or Guangdong, you can park your car there and then we have transport to take you directly to the airport for your flight to your destination.
