Road Works in Hong Kong
9.14 The opening of two flyovers linking Upper Albert Road with Cotton Tree Drive and Kennedy Road this year marked the completion of another important stage of the Garden Road complex which was designed to improve traffic flow between Central District and the Mid-levels area.
9.15 Widening of Connaught Road, Central between Murray Road and Morrison Street was completed. Addition of new traffic lanes and installation of linked signals at road junctions contributed to a substantial improvement of traffic conditions in this busy road. A new road network on the reclamation fronting Connaught Road Central and a much expanded bus terminus were also constructed in conjunction with this scheme. A covered footbridge over Pedder Street at its junction with Connaught Road Central was completed while others in this area were being designed.
9.16 Pokfulam Road/Bonham Road/Hill Road junction was improved with the opening of the one-way flyover from Pokfulam Road to Bonham Road and the widening of the approaches to this heavily trafficked junction. A substantial length of Wongneichong Gap Road, leading to the south-east side of the island, was also improved and widened, incorporating an additional up-hill traffic lane.
9.17 The construction of two new roads, one linking Wongneichong Gap with Wong Chuk Hang and the other linking the Tin Hau Temple Road area with Tai Hang Road progressed satisfactorily. A number of minor new roads were also constructed in conjunction with building development in the Wan Chai Reclamation, Chai Wan, Jardines Lookout, Red Hill and Chung Hom Kok areas.
