Ting Kau Bridge Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Ting Kau Bridge(汀九橋) was completed in 1998. It is a bridge connecting Tuen Mun Road with Lantau Link in western New Territories, Hong Kong. It is adjacent to the Tsing Ma Bridge..]]
The cable stayed bridge has 3 towers with heights of 170 metres, 194 metres, and 158 metres, located on the Ting Kau headland, on a reclaimed island in Rambler Channel (which spans 900 metres wide) and on the north-west Tsing Yi shoreline respectively.
The arrangement of separate decks on both sides of the 3 towers contributes to the slender appearance of the bridge while acting favourably under heavy wind and typhoon loads. Each deck carries 3 traffic lanes and a hard shoulder.
The Ting Kau Bridge in Hong Kong is one of the few multi-span cable-stayed bridges ever built and with 1177 m of cable-supported deck, it is one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world. The bridge spans the 900m wide Rambler Channel and connects Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the international airport at Chek Lap Kok to the New Territories and the Mainland.
The bridge is one of a multitude of infrastructure projects for the new Chep Lap Kok airport, located on Lantau Island some 30 km from Hong Kong island. The design of this bridge contains special features such as single leg towers, which are stabilised by transverse cables just like masts of a sailboat. The Ting Kau Bridge and approach viaducts link the western New Territories and the mainland to an expressway called Lantau Fixed Crossing, which connects the new Airport with Kowloon and Hong Kong. It meets the Lantau Fixed Crossing on Tsing Yi Island only 500 m from the Tsing Ma Bridge.
