The First Phase of Fanling North New Development Area 粉嶺北新發展區第一階段
Horizontal Bridge Rotation
水平橋樑轉體施工
The viaduct will span across the MTR East Rail Line. To reduce the impact on railway operations, the project team adopted the horizontal bridge rotation method for the construction of this bridge section.
First, they would install the prefabricated components at the construction site next to the track, and then turned the entire bridge section during non-traffic hours to span across the East Rail Line tracks. This construction method is being used for the first time in vehicular viaduct in Hong Kong.
