| Abstract: |
With a main span of 1018m Stonecutters Bridge is the second longest cable-stayed bridge in the world. The construction of the bridge has been an unusual challenge and required innovative solutions to enable an efficient and safe erection. This paper outlines major construction engineering schemes and the solutions developed to harness the challenges of construction. |
