Dutch architects have shown renderings of a proposed bridge design to connect Hong Kong with China.
The bridge tackles the problem of Hong Kong driving on the left and China driving on the right by featuring a switchover.

The bridge features two lanes, which then split, one then ducking under the other, to then rejoin, allowing vehicles to drive seamlessly between the countries.
Named "Pearl River Necklace” the concept was created by NL Architects of the Netherlands.

Re: 'Switchover' bridge revealed
I would propose a change to planning laws so that the Prince of Wales' approval is a compulsory part of obtaining planning permission for any major development. His 'interference' has saved us from some truly disastrous eyesores being built - the Chelsea Barracks development scheme was grossly insensitive and unforgivably ugly.
