Route 9 - Hong Kong's engineering feat

*
Nam Wan Tunnel
An engineering feat: Stonecutters Bridge and Nam Wan Tunnel are the key components of Route 9.

 

Hong Kong has faced many daunting challenges. But with its creativity, ambition and quick adaptability to change, the city has scaled one height to another. And the development of transport infrastructure has fully demonstrated Hong Kong's strength.

 

Stretching across the Ma Wan Channel, Tsing Ma Bridge was completed in 1997 as a key component of the Lantau Link which connects the bustling city to the airport.

 

The striking and graceful landmark has also been put on world's record lists as the longest suspension bridge for road and rail traffic.
