The West Kowloon Reclamation will make land available for completion of the transportation faculties to be in operation by the early 1997 opening of the new airport. These links include the West Kowloon Expressway and the Route Three facilities, the Western Harbour Crossing, and the Airport Railway and its associ- ated down town terminal and stations.
The reclamation project is in the final design and tender phases, with the intial reclamation contract in the South Area now under way. This contract was in relation to the relocation of the Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter and it went to Gammon HK Ltd. Detalled designs are in preparation for other contracts in both ine project areas.
Detailed design work in the South Area started in early 1990 and in the North Area in the second quarter. The reclamation will involve 28.8 million cubic metres of areaging, oo miluon cubic metres of till and 7.8 kilometres of seawalls. There will be seven main reclamation projects. Extensive relocation of existing port facilities and infrastructure will take place.
The Civil Engineering Services Department, Hong Kong Government, is respon- sible for the South Area. Mott MacDonald Hong Kong Ltd is responsible for the design of the North Area.

The West Kowloon Expressway is the section of Route Three which is to be built on the West Kowloon Reclamation.
The Expressway will run from the northern limit of the toll plaza for the Western Harbour Crossing to the southern limit of the Lai Chi Kok Bypass and it will be a dual three/four lane highway. An interchange with the existing highway network at Yau Ma Tei will be constructed in stages, beginning with the links that are necesary for the initial operation of the Western Harbour Crossing and transport to the new airport. The project also includes improvements to Lung Cheung and Ching Cheung Roads (Route Four) that have been identified as necessary for initial operation of the Expressway.
A dual two to three lane ground level primary distributor will be constructed beneath and alongside the Expressway. This will provide connections to, but will
