The structure, with a main span of 1018 m (3340 ft.), spans 1.8 km (1 mile) across the Rambler Channel between Tsing Yi and Kwai Chung in Kowloon.
At 295 m (968 ft.) tall, the monoleg towers are 50% higher than the towers of the nearby Tsing Ma and Ting Kau Bridges. The 50 m (164 ft.) wide superstructure is made up of twin box girders which pass on either side of the monoleg towers.
Due to site constraints on the overall length of the bridge, the long steel main span superstructure is balanced by significantly shorter post-tensioned concrete side spans. When completed in 2009 April, Stonecutters Bridge was the second longest cable-stayed bridge in the world.
Buckland & Taylor's Scope of Work:
Buckland & Taylor was a sub-consultant to COWI, who was a member of the Arup design team. The Company designed the stainless steel clad composite upper towers and directed the design of the lower reinforced concrete towers. In addition, the Company provided an internal design review of the entire structure for the design team.
