Ting Kau Bridge

The Ting Kau Bridge (Chinese: 汀九橋) is a 1177 meters (3861,55 ft) long cable-stayed bridge in Hong Kong, China. The bridge connects North-west New Territories with Hong Kong Island, crossing the Rambler Channel.

It was designed and constructed by a joint venture composed by:
- Cubiertas y Mzov (22%), Entrecanales y Tavora (22%), now both part of Acciona, from Spain.
- Ed Züblin AG (22%), from Germany.
- Downer and Co (Downer EDI) (22%), from Australia.
- Paul Y (12%), from Hong Kong.

The construction began in 1994 and it was finished in 1998.

The video, composed of 5 parts, it´s really interesting because it explains the building of the
bridge step by step.
