ROAD IMPROVEMENTS NEAR AIRPORT
Flans to relieve traffic congestion in the sections of Prince
Edward Road near the airport and Kwung Tong Road near the Ngau Tau Kok Resettlement Estate are being realised.
A four-lane vehicular tunnel under the airport runway, which will link Kowloon City Road to a new road network on Kowloon Bay reclamation, is expected to be completed early in 1975.
The western entrance to the tunnel is situated near the junction of Kowloon City and Sung Wong Toi Roads and calls for the construction of a down ramp in Kowloon City Road from the Mok Cheong Street crossing.
Access to and from existing properties will be maintained, or alternative access will be provided, by a system of roads. Pedestrian needs will be safeguarded by the provision of pavements on both sides of Kowloon City Road and a footbridge across the tunnel entrance ramp.
The proposed works will also involve alterations to the alignment and levels of the existing Kowloon City Road, Sung Wong Toi Road and Mok Cheong Street.
An announcement in the Government Gazette giving notice of an order to be made under the Streets (Alteration) Ordinance for this project is made today.
The closing date for objections will be August 7, 1972 and any claims for compensation should be made by September 7, 1972,
