Passengers can travel from the heart of Hong Kong Island to Hung Hom, or even Lo Wu/Lok Ma Chau directly. The new cross-harbour rail tunnel will connect the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter (CBTS) and Hung Hom foreshore. This is the fourth cross-harbour rail tunnel in Hong Kong and will be mainly constructed by the immersed tube tunnel (IMT) method. IMT pre-cast units are being fabricated at the former Shek O Quarry. The 11 finished IMT units will be towed to Victoria Harbour for installation in mid-2017. Cousin, how Railway Know-it-all can trains run under the sea? All cross-harbour tunnels in Hong Kong Easy!

Construction Progress Railway Tunnels from CBTS to Admiralty Station Former Police Officers’ Club Works Site To facilitate the construction of ventilation facilities for the SCL tunnels, demolition of the Police Officers’ Club was completed in December 2015. Upon completion of the project, the Club will be reinstated and integrated with the ventilation facilities of the SCL. Foundation works for the future ventilation facilities and Police Officers’ Club are underway. Construction of the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) launching shaft at the temporarily reclaimed land at CBTS was completed to facilitate the launch in the second quarter of 2016 of “Athena”, the first TBM for the Hong Kong Island Section, which was delivered in late January.

Pipe IMT pre-cast units are now being fabricated in the casting yard piling works will be carried out near the breakwater of CBTS in located at the former Shek O Quarry. early 2016 to form a temporary wave barrier. Shatin to Central Link Hong Kong Island Section Exhibition Station Photo montage Former Wan Chai North Public Transport Interchange The construction of the temporary footbridge connecting Great Eagle Centre/ Harbour Centre with the Wan Chai Ferry Pier is on-going and targeted to be completed in the third quarter of 2016. After this, the existing footbridge would be demolished to make room for the construction of Exhibition Station. Temporary traffic management arrangements will also be implemented in phases along Convention Avenue, Fleming Road, Expo Drive East and Tonnochy Road commencing in the first half of 2016. The former Public Transport Interchange site is now a works site for Exhibition Station. Construction of the diaphragm walls of the station continues in order to facilitate the upcoming excavation works. Construction noise and vibration may be generated during the works. Monitoring points have been installed at buildings in the vicinity to closely monitor the construction works. With the completion of ground stabilisation works in Wan Chai Sports Ground in October 2015, construction of the diaphragm walls for Exhibition Station railway facilities at the corner of the sports ground commenced in November 2015. Wan Chai Swimming Pool and Harbour Road Sports Centre To vacate space for the construction of Exhibition Station, the original Wan Chai Swimming Pool and Harbour Road Sports Centre need to be reprovisioned. After testing and commissioning, the new swimming pool was handed over to the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and commissioned in October 2015. On the first floor level, there is a convenient connection to the footbridge system in Wan Chai North for all-weather access around the neighbourhood. The demolition of the original swimming pool commenced subsequently and Photo montage was completed at the end of 2015. Construction of the new Sports Centre and Exhibition Station follows, with the former expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2017. The SCL will extend the East Rail Line from Hung Hom Station to Hong Kong Island, providing an alternative route for passengers to cross the harbour. This will improve road traffic and relieve the traffic in Wan Chai North and Hung Hom, hence minimising air pollution and noise as well as enhancing road safety and quality of life. This section of the SCL across Victoria Harbour is constructed by the immersed tube tunnel method. Fabrication of the IMT pre-cast units at the former Shek O Quarry has commenced. Construction and installation of immersed tube tunnel requires high precision in engineering. In addition, to provide space for the works, there is on-going close coordination with users in the mooring area and fairway. The projects team will strive to overcome the challenges to bring the fourth cross-harbour rail tunnel to completion as early as possible. Works for the Hong Kong Island Section are in full swing. The original Wan Chai Swimming Pool, which was reprovisioned in October last year, was demolished in December to expand the works area for Exhibition Station and embark on the reprovisioning of the Harbour Road Sports Centre. This marks an important milestone of the SCL project. The first TBM for the Hong Kong Island Section, “Athena”, will be launched in the second quarter of this year to commence the tunnel boring works on the island. Carrying out works in the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong Island and the Victoria Harbour is never short of challenges. Our project team will continue to maintain close communication with the Government and local stakeholders in order to minimise impact during the construction period. We look forward to timely project completion, providing our community with fast and convenient new rail services connecting Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories.

  • T and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong
    Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong By: Michael Audi, Kathryn Byorkman, Alison Couture, Suzanne Najem ZRH006 Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the faculty of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for Degree of Bachelor of Science In cooperation with Designing Kong Hong, Ltd. and The Harbour Business Forum On March 4, 2010 Submitted by: Submitted to: Michael Audi Paul Zimmerman Kathryn Byorkman Margaret Brooke Alison Couture Dr. Sujata Govada Suzanne Najem Roger Nissim Professor Robert Kinicki Professor Zhikun Hou ii | P a g e Abstract Though Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour is world-renowned, the harbor front districts are far from walkable. The WPI team surveyed 16 waterfront districts, four in-depth, assessing their walkability using a tool created by the research team and conducted preference surveys to understand the perceptions of Hong Kong pedestrians. Because pedestrians value the shortest, safest, least-crowded, and easiest to navigate routes, this study found that confusing routes, unsafe or indirect connections, and a lack of amenities detract from the walkability in Hong Kong. This report provides new data concerning the walkability in harbor front districts and a tool to measure it, along with recommendations for potential improvements. iii | P a g e Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project. First, we would like to thank our sponsors Paul Zimmerman, Dr. Sujata Govada, Margaret Brooke, and Roger Nissim for their help and dedication throughout our project and for providing all of the resources and contacts that we required.

  • Administration's Paper on Progress Update of the Construction of The
    CB(4)260/17-18(06) Legislative Council Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways Progress Update of the Construction of the Shatin to Central Link (As at 30 September 2017) (Translation) Introduction This paper reports to Members on the progress of the main construction works of the Shatin to Central Link (“SCL”) as at 30 September 2017. Background 2. SCL, with a total length of 17 kilometres, consists of the following two sections – (a) Tai Wai to Hung Hom Section: this is an extension of the Ma On Shan Line from Tai Wai via Southeast Kowloon to Hung Hom where it will join the West Rail Line; and (b) Hung Hom to Admiralty Section: this is an extension of the East Rail Line from Hung Hom across the Victoria Harbour to Wan Chai North and Admiralty. 3. There are ten stations in SCL. Apart from bringing improvements to the existing Tai Wai Station, the SCL project involves construction of new stations or extension of existing stations at Hin Keng, Diamond Hill, Kai Tak, To Kwa Wan, Ma Tau Wai, Ho Man Tin, Hung Hom, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, and Admiralty. It is a territory-wide strategic railway project (alignment layout at Annex 1). Admiralty Station and Ho Man Tin Station will become integrated stations providing interchange service to passengers of SCL and South Island Line (East)(“SIL(E)”), as well as passengers of SCL and Kwun Tong Line Extension (“KTE”) respectively. 1 4. The entire SCL project is funded by the Government under the “concession approach”.
