CHING CHEUNG ROAD EXTENSION
Ching Cheung Road in Kowloon is to be extended by about 4,500
feet as part of the Kowloon foothills road corridor scheme which will
link: the industrial towns of Kwai Chung and Kwun Tong via a super highway
by 1975.
At present, it is being widened to a dual two-lane carriageway and
work is expected to start within the next few weeks on extending the road
from its junction with Castle Peak Road, round Lai Chi Kok Bay, to join
Kwai Chung Road near the western end of the Lai Chi Kok Bay bridge.
The project will cost an estimated $21 million.
The new Ching Cheung Road will also have dual two-lane carriageways
with continuous pedestrian footways. Part of the road will consist of an
overpass over Lai Wan Road, while another section will run on an embankment
across the head of Lai Chi Kok Bay.
The present grade-separated interchange joining Ching Cheung Road
with Castle Peak Road will be modified to allow for the continuation of all
present traffic movements together with uninterrupted traffic flow on the
new route.
At the other end of the new road, a section of Kwai Chung Road
itself will be widened to provide a collector-distributor road on each side.
When completed the new road will form the westernmost section of
the Kowloon foothills road corridor now under construction.
