regulations have been approved in principle by the Executive Council.
(c) UMELCO Members have considered the

A bridge at Lyemun is the preferred option for the next harbour crossing subject to no adverse effect on the Instrument Landing System (ILS) at Kai Tak. A consultancy on the ILS implications is proceeding. An interim report on the feasibility of the bridge, its location (as dicated by Airport flight path and Marine Clearance but not I.L.S. considerations) and the type of structure has been received.
(b) The Governor-in-Council has endorsed
a direct approach to the Cross Harbour Tunnel Company as the likeleast method to achieve early construction of the bridge by the private sector.
