GRADE SEPARATED ACCESS TO AIRPORT MAINTENANCE AREA
A grade separated interchange will be built shortly in
Prince Edward Road adjacent to the R, A.F. quarters to provide a
permanent vehicular access to the maintenance area of Hong Kong Airport.
The project consists of the building of a flyover to provide
a 24-foot-wide carriageway over Prince Edward Road, a length of
roadway at ground level and associated drainage works.
The flyover, about 1200 feet long, will provide a grade-
separated access into and from the airport maintenance area for
eastbound traffic in Prince Edward Road. The ground level roadway,
about 800 feet long, will serve as an access for westbound traffic.
Work is expected to start next month.
On completion in about May, 1974, the interchange will also
help ease the traffic flow in Prince Edward Road between Choi Hung
Road and Clearwater Bay Road.
