Hing Yik Bridge

Hing Yik Bridge, Footbridge in Eastern District, Hong Kong

Hing Yik Bridge is a simply supported beam footbridge over Chai Wan Road near Salesian English School in Shau Kei Wan. Its steel deck is assembled mainly from I-beams, and the structure is numbered HF34. The bridge was rebuilt in 2019, and its stair entrance now stands on the opposite side from the original 1978 stair at the school gate.

In 1975 Father Chen Hing-yik became supervisor of Salesian English School, whose office faced Chai Wan Road, where narrow pavements and runaway trucks caused frequent fatal accidents. From 1976 he pressed the government for a footbridge; a 1977 appeal to legislator Hu Hung-liao led the Legislative Council to approve it that year. The bridge opened on 1 May 1978, and students named it after him.

Students named the bridge after Father Chan Hing-yik, the Salesian school supervisor who campaigned for it from 1976. When it reopened in September 2019 during the anti-extradition protests, railings were hung with white ribbons and the pillars painted with "Salesian Lennon Wall"; the steps bore the words "Hong Kong people, add oil".

The bridge is easy to reach by MTR or several bus lines that stop nearby. Pedestrians should use the stairs or ramps to reach the upper level, where they have a clear view of the road below.

The bridge's Chinese name, Hing Yik, honours Father Chan Hing Yik, the Salesian school supervisor who campaigned for it from 1976; students coined the name to credit him. When it reopened in September 2019, during the anti-extradition bill protests, railings were tied with white ribbons and the pillars were painted as a "Lennon Wall" with slogans and a Pepe the Frog cartoon.
