Ap Lei Chau Bridge (traditional Chinese: 鴨脷洲大橋; simplified Chinese: 鸭脷洲大桥; pinyin: Yālìzhōu Dàqiáo; Cantonese Yale: ngaap3 lei6 jau1 daai6 kiu4) is a highway bridge in Hong Kong connecting the island of Ap Lei Chau (Aberdeen Island) to the community of Aberdeen on Hong Kong Island.
The original bridge carried one lane of traffic in each direction. Construction of a twin bridge to its north was started in May 1991 and completed in July 1994, so that there are now two lanes in each direction.[1][2] The bridge remains Ap Lei Chau's only road connection to Hong Kong Island.
