Tsing Yi Bridge re-opens on Saturday

Motorists on Tsing Yi Heung Sze Wui Road and Tsing Yi Road heading for Kwai Chung can route via Tsing Yi Bridge from Saturday (July 22) onwards as the rehabilitation works have been completed and the bridge will be re-opened to traffic at 10 am on that day, a spokesman for the Transport Department announced today (July 18).

At the same time, the unnamed road south of Tsing Yi Road roundabout will be closed and the existing temporary U-turn facilities there will be cancelled.

To tie in with the re-opening of the bridge, a number of public transport services which have been diverted to travel via Kwai Tsing Bridge during the temporary closure of Tsing Yi Bridge will resume their normal routeings via Tsing Yi Bridge from 10 am on July 22.

The services include Kowloon Motor Bus (KMB) routes 41A, 42, 42A, 43, 43A, 43C, 43M, 44M, 242X, 243P, N241; KMB/New World First Bus route 948; Long Win Bus route A31; green minibus routes 88, 88B, 88C, 88D, 88M and 405; as well as residents' service routes 41R, 42R, 43R, 44R, 45R, 47R and 48R.
