feet, consisting of a 25 foot carriageway of 6 inch thick vibrated concrete base and 1 inch thick bitumen macadam wearing course and two 10 foot concrete footways. Widening was continued from the Stadium to Cotton Path to the same standard. Traffic islands were constructed at Leighton Road junction to improve control of traffic.
219. Improvement of Kennedy Road/Macdonnell Road junction eliminated one of the bottlenecks in Kennedy Road. The old skew junction was removed, and re-located about 140 feet to the West so that the road lines intersect as close as possible to a right angle. The junction will eventually tie in with a widening scheme for Kennedy Road, but as a temporary measure a traffic island was constructed to suit the present system of traffic flows. One 5 foot concrete footway was provided on the section of new road and the carriageway was paved in a 4 inch thick base course and a 1 inch thick wearing course of bitumen macadam.
220. Another bottleneck removed in Kennedy Road was the sharp bend near Stone Nullah Lane. The road was re-aligned and made up with a flexible pavement of 9 inch overall thickness, consisting of 4 inch thick hardcore sub-base, 4 inch thick base course of bitumen macadam and 1 inch thick bitumen macadam wearing course. Reconstruction was carried out to the same specification but without hardcore sub-base from Stone Nullah Lane to the stepped access to Ship Street. A footway was provided along this length wherever possible. The stepped access to Ship Street was subsequently re-aligned.
221. Percival Street from Hennessy Road to Leighton Road was reconstructed following the relaying of tram-tracks. The carriageway was constructed in 6 inch thick vibrated concrete base and 1 inch thick wearing course of bitumen macadam. The kerb line at Leighton Road was altered to accentuate the right of way for traffic on Leighton Road.
222. New footways were provided in Upper Albert Road, Bonham Road, Pokfulam Road and Seymour Road.
