Bridge connects not only the geographical distance, but the life sharing between people.
People living in Hoi Ying Estate and Hoi Tat Estate in Cheung Sha Wan had been separated from the neighboring community facilities by a total of 16 lanes of West Kowloon Highway Route 3 and Lin Cheung Road.
Now, after the opening of the Long Span Footbridge connecting Hoi Ying Estate and Hoi Tat Estate, the 10-minute walk between 2 estates has been shortened to 4 minutes. In the future, it is expected that there will be more than one to two thousand people passing by. Soon, chit-chat between residents from two estates can be realized. In addition, the Sham Shui Po Leisure and Cultural Building on the other side of the footbridge has also been completed, which contains various recreational and sports facilities and a library. The library has a modern design and there will be a beverage corner. Although it has not yet been open, it is not difficult to imagine the quiet and elegant scene that residents walking into the library together, sitting in a corner reading books and enjoying coffee.
This longest footbridge across public housing estate in Hong Kong connects not only two estates, but people's lives there.
