Kai Tak Bridge

Kai Tak Bridge, Road bridge in Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong.

Kai Tak Bridge is a road bridge on Kai Tak Bridge Road, supported by six piers and built to carry the weight of two Boeing 747 aircraft. Its deck was raised during conversion to make room for utility pipes, and it links Shing Cheong Road in Kowloon Bay with Shing Fung Road.

Built as Kai Tak Taxiway Bridge No. 3, it opened on 15 August 1993 to link the airport's existing taxiways with the new south apron, at a cost of HK$105 million under Bouygues Construction. Abandoned after the airport closed on 6 July 1998, it briefly served golfers using the temporary course at the runway's end. Its eastern half was converted for pedestrians and vehicles and reopened on 18 May 2013; the western half followed in late 2019, and the whole approach was gazetted as Kai Tak Bridge Road in June 2021.

The bridge takes its name from the former Kai Tak Airport site, whose grounds are being redeveloped today. The name connects the area's past to its present transformation and reminds locals of the neighborhood's aviation heritage.

The bridge carries Kai Tak Bridge Road between Shing Cheong Road in Kowloon Bay and Shing Fung Road, and until Shing Fung Road's northern section opened it was the only route to the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal. The deck was raised during conversion to carry the district cooling system and utility ducts, though the cooling pipes were later rerouted and the reserved space went unused. Six piers support a deck built to bear the weight of two Boeing 747 aircraft.

The deck rests on six piers engineered to carry the weight of two Boeing 747s, a load requirement left over from its years as an aircraft taxiway. Before conversion the span had no guardrails and no ducts for utilities; the rebuilt deck was raised to leave room for pipes and a district cooling system.
