The prefabricated double-arch steel bridge for the Cross Bay Link, Tseung Kwan O

The Cross Bay Link is about 1.8km long, of which 1km is a marine viaduct composed of several sizeable steel and concrete members.

Spanning across Junk Bay, the Cross Bay Link will connect the southeastern areas of Tseung Kwan O with the Tseung Kwan O - Lam Tin Tunnel and provide linkage to Tiu Keng Leng and Tseung Kwan O town centre. It will greatly ease transport between the southeastern part of Tseung Kwan O and Kowloon. The project is scheduled for completion in 2022.

 

With a length of 200m and a weight of about 10,000 tonnes, the double-arch steel bridge was constructed with high-strength steel and is an integral part of the marine viaduct. It was prefabricated in Nantong, near Shanghai and arrived in Hong Kong on February 16, 2021. It will be erected on the bridge piers later and will be the longest span and heaviest steel arch bridge in the city.
