Tsing Ma Bridge
The bay remained largely silent in 1970s and 1980s, and only occasionally explorers came to find its past.
The bay became more accessible when Hong Kong United Dockyards (HUD) was built closer to the bay in 1976. Tsing Yi Road was extended to the dockyard.
In early 1990s, Tsing Ma Bridge, an integral part of Port and Airport Development Strategy, started. The suspension bridge spans from the hill at the back of Wok Tai Wan. Wok Tai Wai was reclaimed for the building one of the two towers of the bridge and a pier supporting the road from the tower to the hill.

Famous quotes containing the word bridge:
“Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.”
—Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
