Submitted by Klaus on Sat, 05/29/2021 - 18:49

Bridge across Shing Mun River in Tai Wai, built 1900

Quite narrow bridge. Demolished as it possibly was not fit for vehicle passage.

The Report on the New Territory for the year 1900 (page 20) refers:

The masonry of the abutments and piers of the Tai Wai bridge, 3 spans of 30 feet clear, was completed in the year.

The Public Works Report for 1901 refers:

The road is open to rickshaw traffic throughout its entire length of 18 miles from Tsim Sha Tsui Point to Tai Po.
