TSING YI NORTH BRIDGE: PLANNING AND DESIGN. PROCEEDINGS OF THE INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS

Tsing yi North bridge is Hong Kong's largest prestressed concrete balanced cantilever bridge with a main navigation span of 160 m. The bridge provides four traffic lanes connecting the island of tsing yi with the Hong Kong mainland close to the satellite town of tsuen wan. The bridge crosses a channel of 260 m and is connected at either end by prestressed concrete box girder structures giving a total length of crossing of 1015 m. This paper covers the planning and design of the bridge and its approaches including the selection of the structural form and the contractual arrangements for its construction.(a) for abstract of the bridge construction see IRRD 823415.
