VEHICULAR SUBWAY IN KOWLOON
Motorists will be able to travel along Lung Cheung Road without
interruption' as from Thursday (January 15) when the Public Works Department
opens its newly completed vehicular subway at the Nam Cheong Interchange.
The subway will enable eastbound traffic along Lung Cheung Road wishing to turn into Nam Cheong Street to make a free flowing right turn
without holding up traffic from the other direction.
At present, westbound raffic along Lung Cheung Road heading towards Shek Kip Mei and Sham Shui Po has to stop at the junction of Nam Cheong Street
and Lung Cheung Road to give way to traffic turning right into Nam Cheong Street.
"With the opening of the subway, eastbound traffic along Lung Cheung
Road will turn into Nam Cheong Street via the subway under Lung Cheung Road
without interrupting westbound traffic flow," a PWD spokesman said.
The temporary traffic signals at the junction will be eliminated on
Thursday when the subway opens.
The subway is part of the PWD's Nem Cheong Interchange which is
expected to be fully operational later this month.
It consists of three levels the vehicular subway, ground level
roads and a vehicular bridge spanning Lung Cheung Road.
The bridge, which also incorporates a pedestrian footpath to enable
pedestrians to cross Lung Cheung Road in safety, will provide vehicular access
to proposed developments in the Tai Wor Ping area.
