ELEVATED ROAD FOR ARGYLE STREET
The intersection at Argyle Street and Waterloo Road will have
a now look by April 1975 with the addition of an elevated road which
will run above the existing Princess Margaret Road flyover.
By then, traffic will be carried on three separate levels --
the ground and the two flyovers without interference.
When completed, the 1600-foot long elevated road will greatly
relieve traffic congestion at the junction of Argyle Street, Waterloo
Road and Princess Margaret Road.
on
The three-lane elevated road, costing more than $20 million, will
provide a free flowing facility for through traffic along Argyle Stroet
in both directions.
All major turning movements will be provided for at ground
level and, together with pedestrian crossings, will be controlled by
a comprehensive traffic signal installation.
Tenders for the project are now being called and the work
should start in August and take about 21 months to complete.
Note to Editors:
Photographs of a model of the elevated roadway
are boxed today.
