Stonecutters Bridge is the world’s second longest spanning cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 1,018m. The bridge straddles the Rambler Channel at the entrance to the Kwai Chung container terminals, providing a landmark gateway to Hong Kong, one of the world’s most vibrant trade centers. The 1.6km long crossing is the centerpiece of the new Route 8 strategic link, a 7.6km long, dual three-lane expressway linking Cheung Sha Wan and Tsing Yi Island. The route improves access between the International Airport and the urban areas of West Kowloon, and provides enhanced links to the container port.
