16 bids submitted for Zone A flyover; opening expected in Q3 2028

The tender for a pedestrian flyover connecting land plots B1 to B4 in Zone A received 16 bids, the Public Works Bureau (DSOP) said Tuesday at the bid opening ceremony.

According to DSOP, all proposals included the required documents, met the requirements and were accepted.

The bids range from MOP18 million to more than MOP23 million, with construction periods ranging from 350 to 352 working days.

The authorities expect construction to begin in the second quarter of next year, with the flyover expected to open to the public in the third quarter of 2028.

DSOP said the project is part of the development of Zone A and complies with the master plan. The pedestrian overpass will connect the buildings on plots B1 and B4, providing a safe, barrier-free route separated from vehicular traffic.

The flyover will be about 38 meters long and three meters wide, crossing Avenida do Doutor Ma Man Kei and connecting the buildings on both sides of the avenue.

Each plot will also have an entrance equipped with an elevator and barrier-free access.

A DSOP representative said at the bid opening ceremony that the project will also connect to an underground pedestrian passage linking plots B5 and B1, which is designated for educational use. The passage will provide easier access to the future Light Rapid Transit station being built as part of the East Line.
