Ground-breaking for Duplicate Tsing Yi South Bridge
The $1.338 billion Duplicate Tsing Yi South Bridge is one of the largest new town projects and the biggest bridge construction contract ever undertaken by the Territory Development Department.
This was stated by the Director of Territory Development, Mr Lee Shing-see, at the ground-breaking ceremony of the bridge today (Friday).
He said site preparatory works for the bridge, the fourth of its kind crossing the Rambler Channel, were progressing smoothly and construction of the bridge foundations and structures would commence soon.
When completed, it will have two separate bridge decks providing four additional traffic lanes. In addition, there will be new spaces to accommodate utility services.
Together with the existing south bridge, there will be a total of six traffic lanes with three in each direction. There will be connections to the Route 3 highway on the Kwai Chung side.
"This big increase in traffic capacity and improvement of the highway network will definitely relieve the heavy traffic flow now on the south bridge," said Mr Lee.
