MAJOR KOWLOON ROAD PROJECTS TO BEGIN SOON
is
Work on two major road projects in Kowloon the Canton Road
Duplication and the Jordan Road Intersection and Ferry Concourse
expected to start in January. Tenders for the two projects are about to
be invited.
Together with the Tong Mi Road Extension, they will form part
of an improved road system that will run along the western side of Kowloon
from Tsim Sha Tsui to Lai Chi Kok.
They will also provide an alternative route for motorists when
Nathan Road is partly closed to vehicular traffic during the construction
of the Mass Transit Railway Stations.
The new road running alongside Canton Road will be about 2,200
feet in length. It will start from the Canton Road Fire Station in the
north, cut across the south-western corner of Kowloon Park, the eastern
portion of the existing Container Freight Station, and pass to the east
of the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station main building before joining Salisbury
Road near Ashley Road.
The project, which also includes the construction of a 360-foot
elevated road over Haiphong Road, will take about 20 months to complete.
Stage I of the Jordan Road Intersection and Ferry Concourse will
include the re-alignment of the central divider and resurfacing of sections
of Jordan Road (from Ferry Street to Battery Street) and Ferry Street
(from Han Yuen Street to Jordan Road).
