Construction work on the Po Kwong, Fung Mo and Lion Rock
Interchanges is now in progress and Lung Cheung Road and Ching Cheung
Road are being widened to permit two-lane traffic in each direction.
The existing grade separated interchanges at Tai Po Road and Castle Peak
Road will also be improved.
Work on the Choi Hung, Piper's Hill and Tai Wor Ping Interchanges
is about to start and that on the other items will begin at intervals over
the next 12 months.
Meanwhile, to relieve congestion in Kwun Tong Road, an alternative
route, forming part of the North-East Kowloon Corridor, is to be constructed.
Wai Yip Street will be extended to join Kwun Tong Road about mid-way between
Clear Water Bay Road and Ngau Tau Kok Road.
A flyover will also be constructed at the junction of the new
road with Kwun Tong Road to allow both eastbound and westbound traffic
to merge with and diverge from the main Kwun Tong Road traffic.
The date of completion for this multi-million dollar project
is scheduled to coincide with that of the Kowloon Foothills Road Corridor.
