Abstract:

The Kap Shui Mun Bridge is one of the world's largest double-deck cable-stayed bridges and features the first fully enclosed lower deck. The bridge spans Kap Shui Mun Channel linking Lantau Island and Ma Wan Island, providing access to the proposed new airport in Hong Kong. The bridge carries six lanes of roadway traffic on the upper deck and two lanes of emergency roadway traffic and two tracks of light rail on the lower deck. The winning design/build tender is described; it is an innovative hybrid design with a steel composite superstructure for the central 387 m of the 430-m center span and an all concrete superstructure for the remainder of the main span and for the 160-m side spans.
