Work can be seen in full swing for New Urban Area Zone A. In total it will have 28,000 public housing units and supporting facilities.

The fourth crossing between Macao and Taipa (top of picture) is to be named the Macao Bridge. It will ease traffic pressure on the existing three bridges, improve traffic capacity between Macao and Taipa, and help cope with the extra volume of traffic expected from Zone A.
