KOWLOON FOOTHILLS CORRIDOR
—
ANOTHER THREE PROJECTS
More than $28 million will be spent on road works to improve the
traffic flow at three points in Kowloon.
The works form part of the $140-million Kowloon Foothills Road
Corridor scheme which will, by 1975, provide a through road linking Kwun
Tong and Kwai Chung via Lung Cheung Road.
The first of these road improvement works involves the widening
and realignment of a section of Kwun Tong Road between the main entrance
of R.A.F. Kai Tak and Choi Wan Road.
In addition to a footbridge across Kwun Tong Road, the proposed
scheme includes an elevated roadway linking Kwun Tong Road and the future
Wai Yip Street Extension.
The second project covers the building of an overpass, an under-
pass, two pedestrian footbridges and slip roads at the junction of Nam Cheong
Street and Lung Cheung Road.
The existing roads will also be realigned and their widths altered.
The third project includes the construction of a two-lane single
carriageway overpass and a pedestrian footbridge on Shatin Pass Road over
Lung Cheung Road.
