Further acknowledging the industry expertise of Gammon, the company was awarded a contract from the Highways Department of the HKSAR Government for the construction of the Northern Section of Deep Bay Link.

Valued at HK$2 billion, the Northern Section contract covered a four-kilometre dual three-lane carriageway linking the future Hong Kong - Shenzhen Western Corridor at its landing point in Ngau Hom Shek with the Southern Section of the Link located in Yuen Long.

The Link had a number of areas of interface and constraint including crossing the existing LRT rail, West Rail and existing Castle Peak Road. Other features included the large volume of existing graves which were required to be removed or protected to facilitate construction works at this rural area site.

More than 3,000 pre-cast concrete segments were installed to form the viaducts, and when the project was at the peak of construction it provided 500 to 600 job opportunities.

Additionally, the project also comprised construction of the Ha Tsuen interchange, turnaround facilities with a weighing station, and a helipad located at the Ha Tsuen interchange.

The total project required excavation of an excess of 430,000 cubic metres of earthworks, 325,000 cubic metres of concrete and 48,000 tonnes of reinforcement.
