Ponte de Sai Van
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ponte de Sai Van or Sai Van Bridge (Chinese: 西灣大橋) is a cable-stayed bridge in Macau, 2.2 km long and is the third bridge to connect Taipa Island to Macau Peninsula. It was inaugurated on December 19, 2004. The bridge features a double-deck design, with an enclosed lower deck to be used in the event of strong typhoons, in which case the other two bridges connecting Taipa and Macau Peninsula (Ponte Governador Nobre de Carvalho and Ponte de Amizade) are closed. Space was also reserved in the lower deck for a rail-link in future (Macau Light Transit System).
