Tsing Tsuen Bridge, also called Tsing Yi North Bridge, opened to traffic on 11 December 1987.
Tsing Yi North Bridge was, when opened in 1987, Hong Kong's largest prestressed balanced cantilever bridge with a main navigation span of 160 metres, side spans of 90 metres, and approach viaducts that brought the total length to 1,015 metres.The design can support a 2-way and 4-lane traffic.

From the Hong Kong Annual Report 1968
In Kowloon, the half-mile long Lai Chi Kok Bridge was completed and opened to traffic in October. The bridge and newly completed Kwai Chung Road provide a fast direct link between western Kowloon and Kwai Chung/Tsuen Wan, thereby relieving congestion on Castle Peak Road with its relatively steep gradients.
Peak Tram Bridges
In the Journal from 1888 it is reported that there are eleven bridges on the Peak Tram. Two of them are over roads, and the rest over nullahs and gaps. In the beginning, two road bridges over the tram were built (Bowen Road, a bit later Macdonnell Road). In 1907, the May Road bridge was built, and in 1968, the Cotton Tree Drive bridge was added.
So, let’s start at the lower terminus.

MacDonnell Road bridge over Peak Tram [1892- ]
Not built at the same time as the Peak Tram but during the 1890's. On the 1889 map on hkmaps, there is no Macdonnell road. On the 1901 map it's clearly visible, the ones in between are of poor quality only. In the 1899 Public Works report it stated under No. 36:
Completion, of Macdonnell Road: - This work consisted of extending the road constructed in 1891, between Kennedy and Bowen Road, eastwards to form a junction with the former.
