The position of the marker is approximate, based on the notes below. Please let us know if you can add any information about the bridge's name, location, and when it was built / demolished.

Here are the notes about it so far:

Chinarail remembers the bridge was just off the old road between Taipo and Fanling, and reputed to be at least three hundred years old.

Before the many crossings that now exist, only one bridge gave access to Tsing Yi Island. This was built as a joint cost project by the government and China Light & Power.

[This] first Tsing Yi Bridge was opened in February 1974 by the Governor. That should make it 40 years old this year.
