Kai Tak Bridge, Road bridge in Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong.
Kai Tak Bridge is a road bridge in Kwun Tong that connects multiple transport routes with steel and concrete structures. It crosses the densely populated urban area and serves as part of the district's modern transport network.
The bridge opened in 2021, marking a turning point in Kwun Tong's infrastructure development after decades of transport planning. Its construction enabled the long-awaited reconnection of city sections and replaced earlier, less efficient routes.
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 is open to regular traffic flow and can be used by foot or as a passenger. Be cautious in heavy rain, as Hong Kong's humid weather conditions can affect road conditions and visibility.
The bridge was specifically designed to pass over the site of the former Kai Tak Airport, once one of Asia's busiest airports. This unusual feature makes it a symbol of Hong Kong's transformation from an aviation hub into a new urban entertainment center.
