The magnificent Tsing Ma Bridge, the world's longest span suspension bridge carrying both road and rail traffic, is the key connection between Hong Kong and its international airport on Lantau Island. The bridge is 2.2 kilometres long, with the main span measuring 1,377 metres. The towers supporting the bridge are 206 metres high with a clearance of 62 metres. Approximately 49,000 tonnes of structural steel was used in the construction of the bridge, which cost HK$7.14 billion to build. This was only 5% of the total cost of HK$155.3 billion for all the Airport Core Projects, acclaimed as one of the top 10 construction projects of the 20th Century - rivalling such projects as the building of the Panama Canal, the Anglo-French Channel Tunnel and the Golden Gate Bridge
The bridge consists of a six-lane open roadway with two railway lines and a two-lane road enclosed beneath. If a particularly severe typhoon strikes Hong Kong, and the bridge has to be closed to road traffic, the trains and some road traffic can still get back and forth to the airport with passengers and their luggage.
Opened mid-1997, this engineering marvel is now Hong Kong's proud new landmark, massively imposing by day, and a twinkling network of lights by night. The Lantau Link View Point and Visitors Centre north of the bridge on Tsing Yi provide excellent views of this and two adjoining bridges.作者: twintwin 時間: 2010-1-6 19:46
