CONTRACT AWARDED FOR REPLACEMENT OF FLYOVER
*****
THE HIGHWAYS DEPARTMENT TODAY (WEDNESDAY) SIGNED A $60 MILLION CONTRACT TO BUILD A REPLACEMENT FOR THE 20-YEAR-OLD PRINCESS MARGARET ROAD FLYOVER IN KOWLOON.
THE CONTRACT FOR THE PROJECT, WHICH WILL TAKE JUST UNDER THREE YEARS TO COMPLETE, WAS SIGNED BY THE DIRECTOR OF HIGHWAYS, MR HAROLD BEATON, AND THE DIRECTOR AND GENERAL MANAGER OF NISHIMATSU CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LIMITED, MR YUKITOSHI YANAGISAWA,
WORK ON THE PROJECT, WHICH STARTED LAST FRIDAY (JUNE 27), CALLS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A FOUR-LANE FLYOVER TO REPLACE THE EXISTING THREE-LANE ONE.
THE PRESENT FLYOVER WILL BE DEMOLISHED IN STAGES TO SUIT THE CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE OF THE NEW FLYOVER.
FOR TRAFFIC REASONS IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN TWO LANES OF THE EXISTING FLYOVER FOR USE BY SOUTHBOUND VEHICLES THROUGHOUT THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD.
A DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN SAID THIS REQUIREMENT HAD INCREASED THE COMPLEXITY IN THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW FLYOVER, BUT WOULD GREATLY MINIMISE INCONVENIENCE TO TRAFFIC.
