Tsing Yi North Bridge is also called Tsing Tsuen Bridge (Chinese: 青荃橋) which connects the Tam Kon Shan Interchange of Tsing Yi Island and Texaco Road Roundabout of Tsuen Wan, across the Rambler Channel. The bridge is built by the Japanese Contractor Firm, Maeda Co.(前田建設工業); the Consulting Engineers being Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick & Partners and was completed on 10 December 1987. The North Bridge was designed to solve the traffic congestion problem in Tsing Yi, which was connected with Kwai Chung by Tsing Yi Bridge only.

Structure
Tsing Yi North Bridge was, when opened in 1987, Hong Kong's largest prestressed balanced cantilever bridge with a main navigation span of 160m. The design can support a 2-way and 4-lane traffic. The balustrade on the bridge was an aluminium-type to prevent rusting, although it was changed to welded stainless steel, because of the frequent stolen cases of aluminium bars in the past decades.
New Extension
On 1 February 2002, the day of the opening of Tsing Yi North Coastal Road, the North Bridge was connected and became the main path from Tsuen Wan to Tung Chung on Lantau Island and the International Airport in Chek Lap Kok.
The ferry service from Tsing Yi and Tsuen Wan was terminated by Hongkong and Yaumati Ferry, after several years of the opening of North Bridge.
Transportation
Pavements are available on both side of the bridge.
