OK, leaving aside the engineering concerns, how is that different from taking a bus to the ferry pier, then ferry, then bus into Macau.
Looks like a few of the HK airport buses will go to the bridge immigration centre on the HK side, and probably the casinos will make new routes for their buses to the Macau side.
If my local HK airport bus route is extended to the bridge, then the bridge might actually be more convenient for me. Also the buses are supposed to be significantly cheaper, which is going to attract plenty of people even if the bridge starts to collapse.
Anyway my question was in response to
Chromie25 stating specifically that immigration would be more of a hassle. Surely for HK residents it will just be ID card and thumb (though I don't know why the Macau e-gates can't use the same design, I'm still not sure how to place my ID card in them and just move it around until it works...) Why would the mainland immigration want to process thousands of extra people needlessly?
