Date and time:

Saturday, 11 January 2020, 9:30am –11:30am

 

Venue:

Central Kowloon Route – Ma Tau Kok Community Liaison Centre, No.12 Long Yuet Street.

 

Programme highlight:

Central Kowloon Route (CKR) is a 4.7 km-long, dual 3-lane trunk road linking Yau Ma Tei Interchange in West Kowloon and the road network at Kai Tak Development and Kowloon Bay in East Kowloon. In the view of frequent traffic congestion of the major east-west corridors, including Lung Cheung Road, Boundary Street, etc., CKR will provide an alternative express route to bypass the congested road network in order to improve the adjacent areas – Wong Tai Sin, Ho Man Tin, Kowloon City, etc.

 

The Kai Tak West Contract No. HY/2014/07 mainly comprise the construction of a 370 m long underwater tunnel and associated temporary reclamation at Kowloon Bay, a 100 m long tunnel and an access shaft at Ma Tau Kok as well as a 130 m long depressed roads at Kai Tak and a 200 m long underpass in the Kai Tak Development.

 

This technical visit will begin with a brief introduction of the project and follow by site walk to major activities on site.
