This page has several photos of the bridge.
"The Tseung Kwan O Cross Bay Bridge in Hong Kong, a main part of the Cross Bay Link, opened to traffic on Dec 11[, 2022]....With a total length of about 1.8 kilometers, the 35.8-meter-wide bridge has a 200-meter-span external-floating butterfly-shaped steel main arch....It's worth noting that the arches of the bridge were built with S690 steel, the first time the ultra-high-duty steel was widely used in bridge construction in the world. In addition, it was the first time the float-over method was used in bridge erection in China." [

"The bridge is the first marine viaduct in Hong Kong with a carriageway, a footpath, a cycle track and viewing platforms at the same time."
"The steel bridge components were prefabricated in the mainland, and the about 200-meter-long bridge was delivered to Hong Kong from Nantong, eastern Jiangsu Province." |

"The NEC-procured crossing forms part of a new 5.6 km highway between Kwun Tong and the Tseung Kwan O development area, which includes a 2.2 km tunnel east of Lam Tin."
"The centrepiece of the crossing is a 200 m span steel bridge with two inclined tied arches. This 10,000 t structure and its two 100 m steel side spans were manufactured over 1,600 km away in Nantong and erected by float-over technology onto their respective piled piers. Off-site manufacture was also used for most of the remaining 600 m of reinforced concrete viaducts. All pile-cap shells, V-shaped and vertical piers, and 50−75 m long box-girder deck spans were cast in Guangdong and installed span by span with up to 5,000 t capacity floating cranes. " |

GlobalPhotos, this is one of many photos taken during this stage of construction.
"The Cross Bay Link is a 1.8km bridge across Junk Bay. Construction began in 2018 and is expected to finish by 2022. It is only a section of a much longer highway all the way to Yau Ma Tei, with the bridge connecting to the Tseung Kwan O - Lam Tin Tunnel also under construction to Kowloon. Another branch heads into Tiu Keng Ling." |

A significant fraction of the deck is allocated to landscaping and non-vehicle traffic. |

"The 656-foot (200-meter) double-arch steel bridge, which weighs about 9,843 long tons (10,000 tonnes) and is over 131.23 feet (40 meters) high, was prefabricated in Nantong, China." |

The arch was delivered in Hong Kong on Feb 16, 2021. |
This is the largest double-arch bridge in the world ever erected using the float-in method. They had to worry about the tides as well as the ballasting in the barge. [

The Chinese don't always build the fanciest design.

The project includes a non-vehicle bridge, Southern Bridge, to provide a complete pedestrian walk around Junk Bay.

This Sourthern Bridges was installed using a crane rather than the float-in method.
