This futuristic asymmetric cable-stayed bridge with a forward-inclined pylon has a sailing ship appearance, accented at night with changeable color lighting.
The main span, 165 metres (541 ft) long, is supported by 30 pairs of forward stay cables, anchored on the 75° forward‐inclined pylon and on the outer edges of the bridge deck, arranged in a fan shape pattern from the side elevation.
To counterbalance these front stays, a combination of 21 pairs of cable backstays and structural steel tie back was used.
The back stay anchored at the (next-) highest point of the pylon is anchored at the curved backstay anchorage point (next-) nearest to the pylon, creating a crisscross‐over pattern from the side elevation,[3] which adds to the aesthetic of the bridge.
[4] The inclined concrete pylon and the backstays are anchored into bore piled foundation off the roadway in precinct 8.
