Lek Yuen Bridge, Concrete footbridge in Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.
Lek Yuen Bridge is a concrete footbridge that spans across the Shing Mun River Channel to connect two areas of Sha Tin District. It features concrete railings and decorative fencing along its length.
The bridge was built in 1988 as part of the expansion of Sha Tin New Town's infrastructure. Its construction helped connect newly developed areas to the existing neighborhood network.
The bridge is named after the nearby Lek Yuen residential estate and connects two riverbanks where residents walk daily. It forms part of the everyday movement network for this neighborhood.
The footpath across the bridge is open and provides direct access between the riverbanks for pedestrians moving through the area. The surface is level and straightforward to walk across.
The structure blends modern concrete materials with traditional Chinese fencing design elements visible throughout its railings. This mix reflects Hong Kong's approach to combining contemporary engineering with cultural influences.
