F. Stonecutters Bridge Hong Kong (1999-2009)
Stonecutters Bridge (SCB) is part of the dual 3-lane
with hard shoulder Route 8 expressway link between
the International Airport and Shatin in Hong Kong, and
crosses the entrance to the busy container port,
Figure 34.
In order to obtain a unique bridge the HK Highways
Department in 2000 decided to invite bridge design
teams selected from a world-wide list of entrants to
participate in the design competition for the bridge. A
group comprising Halcrow, Flint & Neill, SMEDI and
Dissing+Weitling won the competition with an
innovative cable stayed bridge, Figure 35.
The main span is 1018m with a twin deck bridge
girder and 300m high mono column towers.
