AUSTIN ROAD TO BE EXTENDED
A project has been designed to provide road access from Austin ́
Road to the new railway terminus complex, the polytechnic and other
development on the Hung Hom Reclamation.
A road bridge will be built across the harbour tunnel tall
plaza and will connect to the podium above the new.railway terminus
now under construction.
Another road will extend westwards from the bridge to the junction
of Austin Road and Chatham Road. Slip roads serving a loop road around
the tunnel toll plaza will also be constructed to form part of the
Salisbury Road Extension.
Chatham Road at its junction with Austin Road' will be widened
to improve the traffic flow.
The estimated cost of the project is $10.5 million. Work
will commence in July and take about 18 months to complete.
