Improvement to elevated walkway system in Central
The Highways Department proposes to construct a covered pedestrian footbridge at Pedder Street across Connaught Road Central connecting World Wide House and Exchange Square.
The proposed project includes a lift access for disabled people and related ancillary road realignment work.
The proposed footbridge is required to meet the anticipated pedestrian demand arising from the development of the Central Reclamation area.
It will, in conjunction with the existing footbridge, serve to ensure the safe and effective conveyance of pedestrians crossing Connaught Road Central upon completion.
The lift will facilitate the access of people with a disability to the elevated walkway system in Central and supplement the one provided near the Star Ferry.
A notice of the proposed works is published in the Government Gazette today (Friday).
The plan and scheme showing the proposed works may be inspected at the Public Enquiry Service Centre, Central and Western District Office, ground floor, Harbour Building, 38 Pier Road, Hong Kong; and at the District Lands Office, Hong Kong West, 19th floor, Southorn Centre, 130 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong during normal office hours.
Any person objecting to the proposed works must send his/her objection in writing to the Secretary for Transport, Central Government Offices, second floor, East Wing, Lower Albert Road, Hong Kong not later than May 14, 1996.
