[:zh]中国澳门5月16日电－澳门和广东星期二（5月15日）公布，计划于澳门半岛北端及珠海市拱北区之间兴建新行人通道通关。 澳门特区政府选择在青洲南粤批发市场的现址兴建新通道。南粤批发市场会被拆毁，并搬迁到珠澳跨境工业区澳门园区。 行政长官崔世安表示，他相信新通道有效纾缓拱此——关闸口岸通关压力。 崔世安昨天和广东省省长朱小丹主持于行政长官办公室举行的年度粤澳联席会议后会见传媒，并发表上述言论。 联席会议历时1.5小时，双方探讨如何进一步落实粤澳合作框架协议。 他说：「随着本澳经济的高速发展，拱北口岸客流量的增加，出现长时间轮候及挤迫情况，因此，我们认为粤澳之间新增一条新通道是有迫切性的。」 澳门特区政府的声明指出，初步计划新通道的选点为南粤批发市场的现址及狭窄的鸭涌河的邻近地方，该处划分澳门及珠海的边境。 崔世安称，位于拱北口岸仅800米之外的新通道是一条客运通道，只供行人使用，没有供车辆的设施。 他表示，新通道会作为拱北口岸的附属口岸。 他表示，粤澳双方会向中央政府提交新通道的申请，希望获得审批。并强调新通道有助区内发展。 根据澳门特区政府关于新通道的声明，计划包括兴建一道穿过通道的天桥。 然而，两地政府无详述新通道的建造时间表或完工日期。 (macaunews)[:]
