ELEVATED INTERCHANGE FOR LAI CHI KOK
Direct access to the new Princess Margaret Hospital in Lai Chi
Kok will soon be provided with the construction of an elevated interchange
on Kwai Chung Road.
The elevated roadway, which is about 1,760 feet long, will be built
about 500 yards from the western approach to the Lai Chi Kok Bridge.
It will provide convenient access to the new hospital complex by
grade separating hospital bound traffic from westbound through traffic on
the busy Kwai Chung Road.
In addition, both carriageways of Kwai Chung Road within the interchange
area, and for some 1,700 feet to the west, will be widened to four lanes.
The general wing of the new Princess Margaret Hospital is expected
to be completed in 1974.
Tenders are being invited for the construction of foundation works
for the interchange. Work will begin later this month and should take about
five months to complete.
A separate contract will be let later for the major superstructure
and road widening works.
