"Backbone" of Route 3-Kwai Chung Viaduct in place
The "backbone" of the Route 3-Kwai Chung Viaduct (KCV) has been formed after the last of the 954 precast U-shape overhead beams for the elevated expressway was lifted into position today (Wednesday).
The KCV is part of the Airport Core Programme and will form part of the expressway link to the new airport being built at Chek Lap Kok. With all the 954 U- beams in place, construction of the dual four-lane three-kilometre viaduct has reached a major milestone since work began in 1993.
The KCV straddles the busy Kwai Chung Road and Container Port Road from Lai King to Mei Foo. With a width of up to 65 metres, it is the widest viaduct structure ever built in Hong Kong.
Work on lifting the heavy concrete U-beams into position started 18 months ago, and this was by no means an easy job.
