在珠江口建跨海大桥的方案最早由香港实业家胡应湘先生于1983年提出，几经波折，于2004年经由国务院批准后正式开始进行可行性研究，2009年批准研究报告，并于2009年12月15日正式开工，由时任国务院副总理李克强在珠海举行开工典礼。

The plan to build a link road across the Pearl River Estuary was first initiated by Hong Kong industrialist Gordon Wu Ying-sheung in 1983. After several twists and turns, the Feasibility Study started in March 2004 under State Council’s approval. The study report was approved in October 2009, followed by a commencement ceremony on Dec 15 in the same year, chaired by then Vice-Premier Li Keqiang in Zhuhai.

大桥总投资额约1200亿人民币，其中三地投资共建的主桥部分，长29.6公里，占其中的480.68亿元。剩余部分为各地政府投资兴建的口岸和连接线。

主桥的480.68亿元投资里，57.5%为银行贷款，会由大桥未来30年的通行费偿还;剩下42.5%为政府投资，其中香港特区政府占43%，广东省政府和中央政府占44.5%，澳门特区政府占12.5%。这一比例是三方政府根据大桥建成后各自可获得的经济效益占比拟定的。

So far, the latest cost of HZMB is about 120 billion yuan (US$17.4 billion), of which the 29.6-km Main Bridge invested by three governments is about 48.1 billion yuan. The rest are investments by individual governments on their ports and link roads to the Main Bridge.

The cost allocation among the three governments shown as above is settled by the assessment of economic benefits they can get after the bridge opens.
