using vibrated cement concrete slabs of 8 inch thickness. avoid affecting the floor levels of buildings, only the minimum of super-elevation and variation of level was possible.
250. Further improvement of the main traffic routes from Western to Central Districts was effected by the reconstruction of Connaught Road West and Central from Gilman Street to Des Voeux Road and Wing Lok Street junction. The granite sett seawall apron was in very poor condition and since the re-use of the old setts was not practicable they were replaced by 9 inch thick vibrated concrete. The old concrete and asphalt surface on the South side of the carriageway was replaced by 8 inch thick vibrated concrete with a 1 inch wearing course of 3 inch bitumen macadam. The 14 feet wide central car park was also resurfaced and is available for additional traffic lanes when required.
251. Major improvement works were completed at the four-way junction of Causeway Road, Yee Wo Street, Leighton Road and Tunglowan Road. Causeway Road is the only link between the City and the densely populated North Point and Shaukiwan Districts and thus carries very heavy traffic. Traffic control by point duty policeman was eliminated by the construction of an oval roundabout or "circus", 190 feet x 110 feet lying partly on land recently reclaimed from Causeway Bay.
252. Improved traffic flow enabled the carriageway of Yee Wo Street to be narrowed and footpath widths to be increased from 10 to 13 feet-an improvement most necessary on account of the large crowds of pedestrians going to and from adjacent cinemas. Footpaths at the junction were provided with guard rails and zebra pedestrian crossings were formed in 'in situ' concrete.
253. The carriageways were constructed in 8 inch vibrated concrete with a 1 inch bitumen macadam wearing carpet, kerbs were granite and footpaths of 3 inch concrete with granolithic finish.
