Footbridge helps pedestrians cross Lei Yue Mun Road
The Highways Department announces that a footbridge across Lei Yue Mun Road at Tsui Ping Road has been constructed and will be opened for public use from 10 am on Sunday (April 20).
This 150-metre footbridge links up Tsui Ping Estate and the nearby recreational facilities on the northern side of Lei Yue Mun Road with the industrial area on the south.
The footbridge will improve the traffic flow along Kwun Tong Road and Lei Yue Mun Road, and to enhance pedestrian safety.
It will replace the existing at-grade signal controlled crossing which is being used by over 2,000 pedestrians during peak hours.
The footbridge was constructed in April 1995 at a cost of $34 million.

Final British Army exercise in the New Territories
Soldiers of the 1st Battalion, The Black Watch, will be taking part in the last military field exercise by the British Army in Hong Kong on Tuesday (April 22).
The blank-firing exercise will take place at Wu Kau Tang, near the Plover Cove Country Park in the north-east region of the New Territories.
Members of the Black Watch will be practising jungle warfare skills - taking advantage of the challenging terrain and hot climate Hong Kong offers - as part of their ongoing military training wherever they are stationed in the world.
