The Lantau Link, formerly known as the Lantau Fixed Crossing,
Infrastructure
The Lantau Link is 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) long and consists of:
- the Tsing Ma Bridge, a suspension bridge linking Tsing Yi to Ma Wan island
- the Ma Wan Viaduct, a viaduct crossing Ma Wan
- the Kap Shui Mun Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge linking Ma Wan to Lantau Island
Link is split into two traffic levels; the upper level is an open, 3-lane
The Lantau Link is one of the two land passageway connecting Lantau and other parts of Hong Kong; Tuen Mun–Chek Lap Kok Link via Tuen Mun opened on 27 December 2020 as the second land connection, reducing the traffic pressure on Lantau Link.[2]
Near the Tsing Yi end of the Lantau Link is the cable-stayed Ting Kau Bridge, and the Cheung Tsing and Nam Wan tunnels, the latter of which leads to the Stonecutters Bridge.
