The demand for travel by people and transport of goods across the boundary between Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta area of the Mainland China has continued to grow as the two economies have become further integrated in recent years. In order to accommodate this rapid traffic growth and to further facilitate the socio-economic linkages between Mainland and Hong Kong, the Shenzhen and Hong Kong authorities decide to build a new cross-boundary road link across Deep Bay from Shekou to the North West New Territories (NWNT). The economic assessment part is very important in the whole feasibility study for the large cross-border and billions of investment engineering projects. Base on the review the economic assessment feasibility study of both sides, this paper compare the economic assessment process, economic assessment method and economic assessment result, and make the conclusion and recommendations in the end.
