and San Po Kong roundabouts. Six flyovers and a tunnel are included in the three-stage scheme.
Stage 1 of the work, to be completed by 1971, will involve the extension of Lung Cheung Road between Sha Tin Pass Road and Hammer Hill Road. A new dual carriageway road will be built as an alternative route for traffic between north-east and north-west Kowloon. Included in this stage are three flyovers connecting Prince Edward Road east of Kowloon City roundabout with Ma Tau Chung Road, Argyle Street and Prince Edward Road west of the roundabout.
The building will have two parking levels for 52 cars. Above these will be 13 floors of apartments a total of 52 three-bedroom units.
Prince Edward Road between Kowloon City and San Po Kong roundabout will be widened to twice its present width to provide for a ten-lane divided carriageway. San Po Kong roundabout will be replaced by a flyover linking the southbound carriageway of Choi Hung Road with the westbound carriageway of Prince Edward Road. All these works will proceed concurrently.
Estimated cost of the project, on which work starts this month, is P9 million. The architect is Eugenio Juan Gonzalez, who has also completed plans for a similar 12-storey apartment building at Wack Wack Subdivision, Mandaluyong, Rizal.
In the stage II construction, one flyover will link Kwun Tong Road with Lung Cheung Road at the Clearwater Bay Road junction, and a second will be erected at the junction of Lung Cheung Road and Po Kong Village Road. Kwun Tong Road be- tween Clearwater Bay Road and Lai Yip Street will be widened to twice its width to accommodate twelve traffic lanes. This stage is due for completion by 1973.
The Wack Wack building will have two parking levels and ten apartment floors. Its roof deck will include covered and open recreation areas and a swimming pool. The cost is estimated at P6 million. HK$120 million road complex planned in Hong Kong
