    Tsing Ma bridge is huge, it provide different view in different time, at the daytime, it is an elegant style, at the night time, it is a colourful landmark on the sea. This bridge is really meaningful for Hong Kong. This is the first impression of Hong Kong when we enter in the main island from Hong Kong international airport. The city view from Tsing Ma bridge is awesome and everybody is able to take beautiful pictures to show off. I think if you have an eye for engineering feats, then go to this bridge. It has superb views over the Ocean. Some great view points to look across. It has information boards also which explaining the engineering stages of the bridge.

    When we landed in Hong Kong we took the double dekker bus to our hotel and drove this route. What a great start to our stay with the amazing breathtaking scenery and beautiful bridges. It was love at first sight!

    Hong Kong is a city very easy to fall in love with. Its scenic beauty is unique. But what makes it outstanding is the way one gem is connected to another. I have travelled to Lantau by many modes. Best of course is the long ropeway. But Tsing Ma Bridge too is another alternative.  It is the world's 11th-longest span suspension bridge, and was the second longest at time of completion. The bridge was named after two of the islands at its ends, namely Tsing Yi and Ma Wan. Tsing Ma Bridge is the most prominent element of the Lantau Link, an infrastructure project built to connect Lantau, Hong Kong's largest island, to the urbanised areas of the territory. Until this link opened in 1998, Lantau Island could only be accessed by water, and was completely rural. It has two decks and carries both road and rail traffic, which also makes it the largest suspension bridge of this type. The bridge's is the longest of all bridges in the world carrying rail traffic and 41-metre-wide (135 ft) bridge deck carries six lanes of automobile traffic, with three lanes in each direction. The lower level contains two rail tracks and two sheltered carriageways used for maintenance access and traffic lanes when particularly severe typhoons strike Hong Kong and the bridge deck is closed to traffic. The Lantau Link was built as part of the Airport Core Programme, which ultimately served to provide Hong Kong with a brand new airport at Chek Lap Kok (off the north coast of Lantau) to replace the older, congested Kai Tak Airport. The magnificent bridge stands majestic any time of the day or night.

    Tsing Ma Bridge is a bridge in Hong Kong. It is the world's 11th-longest span suspension bridge, and was the second longest at time of completion. The bridge was named after two of the islands at its ends, namely Tsing Yi and Ma Wan. It has two decks and carries both road and rail traffic, which also makes it the largest suspension bridge of this type. The bridge has a main span of 1,377 metres (4,518 ft) and a height of 206 metres (676 ft). The span is the longest of all bridges in the world carrying rail traffic. The 41-metre-wide (135 ft) bridge deck carries six lanes of automobile traffic, with three lanes in each direction. The lower level contains two rail tracks and two sheltered carriageways used for maintenance access and traffic lanes when particularly severe typhoons strike Hong Kong and the bridge deck is closed to traffic. Numerous consortia bid on the contract to construct the bridge. Hyundai made the lowest bid but were disqualified for non-compliance with the financial requirements. A Japanese bid was ruled out for being too expensive. An Anglo-Japanese joint venture, comprising Costain, Mitsui, and Trafalgar House, won the job. Construction work on the bridge began in June 1992. Gammon Construction constructed the caissons for the bridge towers. The framework for each caisson was floated into place and sunk, and then filled with concrete underwater. The two caissons on the Ma Wan side weigh 4,500 tons each, while those on the Tsing Yi side (closer to shore) each weigh about 3,000 tons. Land reclamation was carried out at both ends of the bridge. The more substantial reclamation on Ma Wan was used as a work platform for construction crews. The first steel deck segment was lifted into place in late 1994.[6] The approach deck segments were constructed in Britain and Dubai and then shipped to Hong Kong for assembling. The main span segments were built by Cleveland in the U.K. and by Mitsui in Japan. The climbing cranes used to erect the tower portals were coincidentally also used on the HSBC Main Building a decade earlier, as well as at Canary Wharf in the interim.

    It has been quite a few years since I visited Hong Kong. There were a few such beautiful bridges on the way from the airport to my hotel in Causeway Bay.

    The Tsing Ma Bridge, an iconic landmark in Hong Kong, is a testament to engineering marvel and a key component of the city's impressive infrastructure. Opened in 1997, this suspension bridge spans the Ma Wan Channel, connecting Tsing Yi and Ma Wan Islands and serving as a crucial link in the transportation network of the region. Named after the two islands it connects, the Tsing Ma Bridge is one of the world's longest suspension bridges. Its distinctive double-deck design accommodates both road and rail traffic, making it a vital corridor for both vehicles and trains. The bridge plays a pivotal role in enhancing connectivity between Hong Kong International Airport, Lantau Island, and the urban areas of Kowloon and Hong Kong. Beyond its utilitarian function, the Tsing Ma Bridge is an architectural marvel. Towering red pillars and a network of cables create a striking silhouette against the backdrop of the South China Sea. The bridge's design not only reflects engineering excellence but also incorporates aesthetic elements that contribute to Hong Kong's skyline. The Tsing Ma Bridge is more than a transportation route; it's a symbol of Hong Kong's progress and resilience. Over the years, it has withstood the challenges posed by natural elements, including typhoons, showcasing the durability and strength inherent in its design. As a gateway to the bustling urban landscape, the Tsing Ma Bridge stands as a modern marvel, embodying the city's commitment to innovation and connectivity.

    The Tsing Ma Bridge is the world's longest suspension bridge that includes both road and rail traffic. The main span is 1.47 km in length while its height is 206 metres. It connects Tsing Yi and Ma Wan islands as part of a greater expanse of bridges and road that links Lantau Island to the rest of Hong Kong. The name Tsing Ma comes from the two small islands mentioned above. The Tsing Ma Bridge opened to the public in 1997 and was considered an engineering marvel in its day. It is an impressive looking structure as you approach and take the bridge, it may look even better at night when the bridge is lit up with lights. Your best chance to encounter and experience the Tsing Ma Bridge is by way of public bus or taxi transportation between the city and Hong Kong International Airport or Disneyland which are both on Lantau Island. If you have particular interest in viewpoints where you can see the bridge, you may want to consider visiting the Lantau Link Viewing Platform on Tsing Yi Island. From this elevated platform area, the bridge can be viewed very well when sky conditions are favourable. There is also a Visitor Centre with displays related to the bridge as well.
