A spokesperson for the HyD said, "The enthusiastic response from the industry is encouraging. The organisations and enterprises that submitted the EOIs come from a diverse range of backgrounds and are highly representative, including developers, contractors, operators, consultants, railway systems suppliers and rolling stock manufacturers from Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and overseas. Among them are also leading players in the industry, demonstrating the strong interest and support from key stakeholders across various sectors."
The spokesperson continued, "We are pleased to see that the EOIs are rich in content, with both breadth and depth. We will further consolidate and analyse the views received and proactively take into account the innovative ideas in relation to construction and operation, as well as the practical suggestions that may enhance the speed and efficiency at different stages of the project from planning and design to construction. The Government will continue to maintain close communication with the industry to further refine the project scheme, delivery mode and financial arrangements, and to formulate the terms and details for the upcoming tender process for the project."
The Government will continue to take forward the Hong Kong section of the HSWRL with full momentum. The target is to have the Hong Kong section of the HSWRL ready for tendering in 2027 and to strive for completion of the construction works in 2034, followed immediately by integrated testing and commissioning to realise the common goal of the governments of Hong Kong and Shenzhen to commission the HSWRL in 2035.
