ANOTHER LINK IN KOWLOON FOOTHILLS CORRIDOR
Work on another phase of the Kowloon Foothills Road Corridor
is expected to start next month.
This involves the extension of Lung Cheung Road from the
Po Kong Interchange, presently under construction, to its intersection
with Hammer Hill Road at the Choi Hung Estate.
It will be in the form of a new 2,000-foot-long three-lane
road with sewers and stormwater drains.
A temporary footbridge at Social Avenue will be built over
the new road so that easy access to Social Avenue for pedestrians can
be maintained.
Subject to the implementation and timing of the Mass Transit
Railway, an additional two lane temporary carriageway may also be provided.
If the railway is completed, additional traffic lanes will be
built and the final scheme will comprise a dual three-lane highway.
The present work, costing about $4.3 million, will take some 13 months
to complete.
The Kowloon Foothills Road Corridor is an important traffic route
which on completion will link Kwai Chung and Tsuen Wan in the west with
San Po Kong and Kwun Tong in the east and Sha Tin in the north, via the Lion
Rock Tunnel.
