If CCP was going to build a bridge that long it might as well build one to Taiwan.
A bridge wouldn't be all-weather. Hainan gets hit by typhoons.
An undersea rail tunnel has been under consideration for a very long time. I think they formally rejected the floating tunnel design so the tunnel will either sit on the seabed (immersed tube) or underneath. This tunnel is good practice before they tackle Bohai and Taiwan Strait. Many references available.
Of course, it has been under consideration for decades but Guangdong isn't interested. Bohai Bridge/tunnel, QiongZhou Strait bridge/tunnel, and Taiwan Bridge/tunnel are the last three major infrastructure projects that have been studied for decades and still waiting for the approval from the central government.
There's already long bridges built that can withstand typhoons the Shanghai YangShang Donghai Bridge.While I dont think the cost will be a primary concern, I think a tunnel would be better.
What if they just mostly fill the gap with earth to Hainan and Taiwan? Leave some gaps for ships.
I think it's doable considering what China has done elsewhere in the SCS:

In Florida there's the Keys where it's just a 125 miles series of islands, bridges, and shallow water.:
Great for spearing lobsters

U.S. navy subs will not like it you restricting their freedom of navigation. However, landfill right up to spitting distance of Taiwan would be interesting and doable. Taiwan straight not too deep.

Towing 100,000 ton oil and gas platform is not easy but they do it
Bit by bit they start exploring for oil and gas in SCS sea This lingshui gas field is major gas find and should be able to supply gas to Guangdong area

BEIJING, Dec 13 (Reuters) -
* China’s national offshore producer CNOOC Ltd started to drill at its major deepwater gas field Lingshui 17-2 in the South China Sea, state television CCTV reported on Friday
* The Lingshui field, with an average water depth of 1,450 metres (0.9 mile), expects to churn out around 3 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas annually, which could meet a quarter of the demand in the southern regions of Guangdong, Hainan and Hong Kong, CCTV said A company executive in September forecast that the Lingshui 17-2 field could start its first gas production at the end of 2021
* CNOOC also expects to add 11 million tonnes of oil equivalent and 10 bcm of natural gas output by 2025, following the development of other deepwater projects such as Lingshui 25-1 and Lingshui 18-1 (Reporting by Muyu Xu and Shivani Singh)

100,000-tonne deepwater oil facility arrives in south China's Hainan
A 100,000-metric-tonne deepwater semi-submersible oil production and storage facility, named "Deep Sea No.1," arrived at a gas field off south China's island province of Hainan on Saturday. The facility will be used in a major deepwater gas field for an annual supply of 3 billion cubic meters of gas to Guangdong, Hainan Hong Kong and other regions.China's CNOOC starts drilling at Lingshui 17-2 gas field - CCTV
