FOOTBRIDGE TO EASE WAN CHAI TRAFFIC ***
GOVERNMENT IS PLANNING TO BUILD A FOOTBRIDGE ACROSS HENNESSY ROAD AT PERCIVAL STREET, WAN CHAI.
THIS IS TO EASE THE SERIOUS PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICULAR TRAFFIC CONGESTION AT THE JUNCTION, WHICH WOULD BECOME WORSE WHEN THE ISLAND LINE OF THE MASS TRANSIT RAILWAY BECOMES OPERATIONAL IN THE MIDDLE OF NEXT YEAR.
THE PLAN IS TO BUILD A COVERED FOOTBRIDGE FOUR METRES WIDE AND 35 METRES LONG, TOGETHER WITH ASSOCIATED ROAD AND DRAINAGE WORKS.
THE NORTHERN END OF THE FOOTBRIDGE WILL BE CONNECTED TO THE SUPERSTRUCTURE OF THE MASS TRANSIT RAILWAY STATION AT CAUSEWAY BAY, BUT UNTIL THEN A TEMPORARY STAIRCASE WILL BE PROVIDED.
A NOTICE ABOUT THE PROJECT HAS APPEARED IN THE GOVERNMENT GAZETTE.
