Consul-Generals briefed on ACP projects
More than 60 Consul-Generals and Trade Commissioners in Hong Kong were today (Friday) briefed on the progress of Airport Core Programme (ACP) projects.
Accompanied by the Director of the New Airport Projects Co-ordination Office (NAPCO), Mr Billy Lam, the visitors spent about five hours visiting the sites of two ACP projects - Tsing Ma Bridge and the new airport at Chek Lap Kok.
The party first visited the site of the Tsing Ma Bridge, where they were briefed on the work progress by the Project Director of the Highways Department's Lantau Fixed Crossing Project Management Office, Mr C K Lau. They were later briefed on the new airport project at Chek Lap Kok by the Director of Corporate Development of the Provisional Airport Authority, Mr Clinton Leeks.
Cable spinning for the Tsing Ma Bridge was completed in July, followed immediately by cable compaction. The first suspended span deck section was lifted into place early in August. So far, 27 of the 50 suspended span steel deck units for the bridge have been erected.
Site formation works for the airport at Chek Lap Kok have been substantially completed and works are progressing on several fronts on the airport island.
The visitors were also briefed on the award of ACP contracts by Mr Lam.
