Kap Shui Mun Bridge

The Kap Shui Mun Bridge extends 820 meters across the Kap Shui Mun channel, connecting Ma Wan island to Lantau Island with its dual-level structure.

Construction of the bridge began in December 1992 and was completed in May 1997, requiring 54 months of complex engineering work and collaboration between multiple companies.

The bridge received the prestigious Tanaka Award from the Japan Society of Civil Engineers in 1997, becoming one of three bridges in Hong Kong to receive this recognition.

The upper deck carries three lanes of highway traffic in each direction at 80 kilometers per hour, while the lower deck accommodates railway tracks and emergency lanes.

The bridge structure incorporates 44 prefabricated segments weighing 500 tons each, supported by steel cables ranging from 51 to 102 strands per bundle.
