The Tseung Kwan O Cross-Bay Bridge, which was the first to be tested by the public on Sunday, was found to have construction problems such as untightened screws and height differences between steel joints, which aroused concern. The bridge will start to open on the 11th of next month. The Civil Engineering and Development Department replied yesterday that the government attaches great importance to the safety of infrastructure projects and has always strictly required contractors to ensure construction safety and control project quality to ensure the structural safety of the Cross Bay Link Bridge in Tseung Kwan O. Relevant plans have been established for the part of the bridge that needs to be repaired, and the contractor has been asked to follow up. Before the bridge is opened, a final inspection will be carried out to ensure that the safety of the bridge meets the standards.
During an opening to the media last week, the agency said the contractor is currently in the final stages of work, including final testing of the system.
