Maeda JV lands Stonecutters contract

A Japanese-Hong Kong joint venture has today signed a US$333 million contract to build Hong Kong's latest and biggest bridge, Stonecutters. Members of the Maeda-Hitachi-Yokogawa-Hsin Chong Joint Venture have previously worked together in Hong Kong building Kap Shui Mun Bridge. Maunsell is consulting engineer to the JV. The record-breaking cable-stayed bridge, which has a 1018m main span, will cross the Rambler Channel at the entrance to the busy Kwai Chung container port. Stonecutters will also be remarkable for its height. The two towers will be almost 300m high, dwarfing those of the nearby Tsing Ma and Ting Kau bridges which are about 200m. Its vertical deck clearance will be at least 73.5m above sea level to cater for shipping. Completion is due in 2008.

Important Update: Bridge Design & Engineering Magazine


For more than 31 years, Bridge Design & Engineering has been a trusted source of new insights, knowledge, and connections for the global bridge community.  With the rapid shifts in the publishing landscape and increasing costs, sustaining the printed magazine at the high level of quality our readers expect has become increasingly challenging.  After careful consideration, Hemming Group Ltd has made the difficult decision to discontinue the print publication.


You will continue to have full access to the Bridge Design and Engineering website - including the complete archive. Although the site will no longer be updated, the archive remains a rich resource of engineering knowledge and project insight.  You can also continue to access the Bridge Directory, IBIG, through the website or directly at: https://www.bdeibig.com/


While this marks the end of an era, it also opens a new chapter, one focused on strengthening the connections, collaboration, and technical excellence that our community thrives on.  Our energy and investment will now be directed toward expanding and enhancing our industry leading events that bring the bridge community together.


Our flagship events Bridges and Bridges Scotland will continue to thrive as essential annual gatherings for bridge owners, managers, designers, engineers, and suppliers.  These events play a vital role in sharing innovation, showcasing best practice and emerging technologies, and fostering meaningful collaboration across the industry.  We are excited to build on their success and will further develop these events in the years ahead.
