General
9.27 Design work on new highway structures included in the programme continued, and advice on structural matters was given to the Civil Engineering Office on request. Structural designs prepared by consulting engineers for highway projects continued to be checked, but this checking was mainly confined to designs prepared by newly-appointed consulting engineers.
Design Projects
9.28 The Division's main efforts were again expended on projects for Kowloon. Design for the elevated road between Prince Edward Road and Lai Chi Kok Road, and the grade-separated access to the Airport Maintenance Area were both completed, and considerable progress was made with the design for the West Kowloon Corridor elevated road joining Gascoigne Road to Tong Mi Road. Progress was also made with the design of the elevated highway between Kwun Tong and the Airport Tunnel Road.
9.29 Work for Hong Kong was largely confined to a feasibility study of the section of elevated road proposed on Pokfulam Road, which investigated the relative advantages of prestressed concrete, steel, and reinforced concrete construction. Design work for two footbridges, one near Wah Yan College, and the other in North Point, was also started.
9.30 For the New Territories, Stage I of Tsuen Wan Bypass, running from Kwai Chung Road to Texaco Road in Tsuen Wan, has been the main project; uncertain foundation conditions have caused some design problems. Design work on three footbridges over Kwai Chung Road was completed.
Design Standards
9.31 Additions were made to the design standards manual as occasion demanded.
