The Princess Margaret Road Link will be a 1.2 kilometre-long elevated dual- two carriageway connecting the Hung Hom Bypass with Chatham Road South, and Princess Margaret Road.
These elevated carriageways comprise a number of pre-stressed concrete bridge. structures. To maintain traffic flows in the area, segmental construction method will be employed for some bridge sections.
Upon completion in 1999, these two roads will be the primary access to the Hung Hom Bay reclamation area and help improve the existing traffic conditions in Hung Hom.
Motorists can then use the Princess Margaret Road Link and the Hung Hom Bypass for access to the Kowloon-Canton Railway podium and Tsim Sha Tsui East and Hung Hom areas thus relieving traffic congestion on the Cross Harbour Tunnel approach roads and Chatham Road South.
The contract also includes the construction of 3.7 kilometres of ground level roads in the Hung Hom Bay Reclamation. These roads will link with the two main elevated carriageways via slip road ramps to form an integrated road network serving future developments on the reclamation.
Comprehensive landscaping works will be carried out at the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront promenade and on the Hung Hom reclamation area.
The existing Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront promenade will be extended eastward by an elevated walkway to connect with the future Hung Hom Bay waterfront promenade.
The works have been designed on behalf of the Major Works Project Management Office of the Highways Department by Maunsell Consultants Asia Limited who will also supervise the contractor's work.
