The illegal construction in Macau

News from Macau Business:

Caesars Entertainment Corp., formerly known as Harrah’s Entertainment Inc., is accused of having built an unlicensed private road to connect its Cotai golf course to one of the main roads in the area.

The government officially halted the project yesterday.

The company had already applied twice to build the road, but the government said it had denied both requests.

The two-lane road has not been completed yet.

The alleged illegal construction included digging up a huge amount of waste that was afterwards stored in the open air, nearby the road.

Caesars Golf Macau is located on a reclaimed land zone, at a site previously occupied by a garbage dump.

The construction may have also impacted on the reclaimed land’s impermeable membrane, allowing for some polluted water to flow out.
