Answer:
HK drives of the right side of the road, like India. China drives on left like the US. This bridge is from HK to mainland China, flips traffic from right to left and vice versa

Hong Kong drives on the left side of the road, mainland China on the right. Switches traffic direction appropriately.
Dutch firm NL Architects
The idea is that in Mainland China they have right hand drive, in Hong Kong it is left hand drive. So this is the solution that ensures that there is a seamless transition.
This bridge is just a plan by “NL Architects”, to connect “Mainland china” and “hongkong”. In china people drive on right side of the road where as in Hongkong they drive on the left. This road “flipper” twists the roads over each other, so that it can conform to both forms of driving.
I believe this project was built as part of a competetion and owing to its low clearance with the waterlevel , it lost.
In Hong Kong, people drive on the left side of the road. In mainland China, they drive on the right side. Here’s the solution: A road flipper that physically twists the roads over each other.
Hong Kong has traffic on the left where China has traffic on the right. In principle this additional complexity has to be solved inside the Border Crossing Facilities. Within the bridge plan this leads to fairly unarticulated intersections. It solves the switch, but does not ‘communicate’ it explicitly. In fact the proposed switches mimic a regular interchange.

Called Pearl River Necklace, the design would link artificial islands to form a bridge between Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macau.
it has this design because of the discrepancy in driving postions-in china people drive on the right while in HK they drive on the left
