FOOTBRIDGE SYSTEM FOR BUSY WAN CHAI JUNCTIONS
****
WORK IS TO START ON A COVERED FOOTBRIDGE SYSTEM THAT WILL SPAN QUEEN'S ROAD EAST AND QUEENSWAY, AND ACROSS ARSENAL STREET AND HENNESSY ROAD.
THE WORK INCLUDES THE CONSTRUCTION OF A COVERED TRAM ISLAND ON QUEENSWAY AND THE REPROVISIONING AND LANDSCAPING OF MONMOUTH PARK AT QUEEN'S ROAD EAST.
THE FOOTBRIDGE WILL PROVIDE A CONTINUOUS ELEVATED ACCESS LINKING THE BUSY QUEENSWAY-QUEEN'S ROAD EAST JUNCTION AND THE HENNESSY ROAD-ARSENAL STREET JUNCTION.
BESIDE ENHANCING PEDESTRIAN SAFETY, IT WILL ALSO ALLOW UN INTERRUPTED TRAFFIC FLOW ALONG THESE HEAVILY-USED ROUTES.
