VEHICULAR FERRY PIER AT JORDAN ROAD, KOWLOON.
Projected ferry Routes.
The projected routes for ferry services are shewn on Drawing No. 3, that of the combined passenger and vehicular service being between the new Eastern and Central Ferry Services, Hongkong, and the end of Jordan Road, Kowloon. The provision, at Jordan Road, of the accommodation shewn on Drawings Nos. S and 9 will serve the dis- trict now using the Yaumati ferry. The existing ferry pier at Public Square Street, Yaumati, will then become available for public purposes.
Description.
By the resumption of a portion of Kowloon Marine Lot No. 49 and reclaiming strips. of land about 80 feet wide to the south of and about 50 feet eastward, at the end of,- Jordan Road, sufficient area will be obtained for the requirements of the vehicular and passenger traffic. Two arms extending in a south-westerly direction form a basin with- in which the vehicular ferry boats will berth. Whilst the basins and ramps have been desigued for boats 120 feet in length with a lower deck width of 45 feet to carry vehicles and 2nd and 3rd class passengers and to carry 1st class passengers on the upper deck, the design can be modified to suit whatever size of boat that may be decided upon. The buildings, provision for embarking and disembarking, accommodation of road traffic, &c., are similar to that recommended in connection with this service on the Hongkong side.
Type of Construction.
The formation of the additional land required should be carried out as an ordinary type reclamation. The arms forming the basin should be constructed in reinforced con- crete, the piles over the base of the sea wall rubble mound being driven before pell-mell rubble is deposited. The deposition of pell-mell rubble around the piles, as recommend- ed previously, should extend over the whole length of the arms.
Extent of Works recommended for immediate construction.
It is recommended that the whole of the construction in connection with the Veli- cular Ferry Service at the end of Jordan Road should be proceeded with immediately.
The estimated cost of the works recommended including 10 per cent. for contingen- cies and including the resumption of a portion of K. M. L. No. 49 is as follows:-
Resumption of about 15,000 square feet of K. M. L. No. 49 @
$8.00 per square foot
Reclamations including the cost of the sea walls Ferry Service accommodation including the construction of re- inforced concrete arms forming the basin, the erection of buildings and ferry ramps, subway for rickshaws, &c., but not including for the cost of erecting car stands
