  • Paper on Trunk Road T2 and Cha Kwo Ling Tunnel Prepared
    立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(4)1222/17-18(04) Ref : CB4/PL/TP Panel on Transport Meeting on 15 June 2018 Background brief on Trunk Road T2 and Cha Kwo Ling Tunnel Purpose This paper provides background information on Trunk Road T2 and Cha Kwo Ling Tunnel ("CKL Tunnel"). It also summarizes the major views and concerns expressed by Legislative Council ("LegCo") Members in previous discussions on the above and related subjects. Background Trunk Road T2 2. Trunk Road T2 is a dual two-lane trunk road of approximately 3 km long connecting the proposed Central Kowloon Route and Tseung Kwan O Lam Tin Tunnel ("TKO-LTT"). About 2.7 km of the trunk road is in the form of a tunnel. The alignment of Trunk Road T2 is in Appendix I. 3. Trunk Road T2, together with Central Kowloon Route and TKO-LTT will form the Route 6 alignment in the strategic road network (Appendix II). Route 6 will provide an east-west express link between West Kowloon and Tseung Kwan O and provide the necessary relief to the existing heavily utilized road network in the central and eastern Kowloon areas. 4. On 5 June 2009, the Finance Committee ("FC") approved the Administration's proposal to upgrade part of 785TH, entitled "Trunk Road T2 investigation and design", to Category A at an estimated cost of $133.6 million in money-of-the-day prices to engage consultants - 2 - to undertake the investigation, design and the associated site investigation works of Trunk Road T2. The project scope comprised impact assessments on environment, traffic, marine, heritage and other related aspects; detailed design of the works; and associated site investigations and supervision for Trunk Road T2.

  • Opening Remarks by the Secretary for Transport and Housing at the Legco Special Finance Committee Meeting (Transport) on 6 April 2020
    Opening Remarks by the Secretary for Transport and Housing at the LegCo Special Finance Committee Meeting (Transport) on 6 April 2020 Honourable Chairperson, Today, I would like to brief Members on our work on land, marine and air transport in the new financial year. 2. For railways, Tuen Ma Line Phase 1 was commissioned on 14 February this year. The remaining works of the Shatin to Central Link is in full swing. The “Tai Wai to Hung Hom Section” and “Hung Hom to Admiralty Section” are expected to commission by the end of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 respectively. We will continue to implement the new railway projects recommended under the Railway Development Strategy 2014, and will invite the MTR Corporation Limited to commence detailed planning and design for the Tung Chung Line Extension, Tuen Mun South Extension and Northern Link in the coming year. The Government will consult the public on the new railway schemes after confirming their details. 3. In respect of major road infrastructures, the construction of the TM-CLKL Northern Connection is anticipated to be completed in end 2020 at the earliest. Upon commissioning, the travelling time between Northwest New Territories and Lantau will be significantly reduced, which will not only help alleviate the traffic load of North Lantau Highway, Lantau Link and Tuen Mun Road, but also provide as an alternative route to the Hong Kong International Airport. 4. The Route 6 will provide an important road link between West Kowloon, Kai Tak and Tsueng Kwan O. The works of the Tseung Kwan O-Lam Tin Tunnel and the Central Kowloon Route under the project are in full swing.

  • Promoting Universal Accessibility of the East Kowloon Harbor Front
    Promoting Universal Accessibility of the East Kowloon Harbor Front Zachary Harmony Meagan Hiatt Paige Waechter Chuankai Zhou 44-SS7-C154 Promoting Universal Accessibility of the East Kowloon Harbor Front An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted by: Zachary Harmony Meagan Hiatt Paige Waechter Chuankai Zhou Submitted to: Professor Hendrik Tieben, School of Architecture Chinese University of Hong Kong Dr. Sujata Govada, School of Architecture Chinese University of Hong Kong and Urban Design and Planning International Project Advisors: Professor Creighton Peet, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Professor Stephan Sturm, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Date: March 6, 2015 ii Abstract The pedestrian scheme that emerged from the former industrial district of Kwun Tong, Hong Kong developed without the consideration of pedestrian universal accessibility. Our goal was to propose a universally accessible pedestrian model to reach the East Kowloon harbor front. Through surveys and exploration of pedestrian pathways, we found inconsistencies in the degree of accessibility, stemming from the lack of Hong Kong accessibility standards. Our recommendations include implementing a wheelchair ramp slope standard, uniformly wide sidewalks, and more prevalent signage. iii Acknowledgements We would like to thank the following individuals, organizations and institutions for supporting us throughout the completion of this project: The School of Architecture, Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) for sponsoring our project, and for providing work accommodations and valuable resources. Our sponsors, Professor Hendrik Tieben from CUHK and Dr. Sujata Govada with Urban Design and Planning International, for all their invaluable resources, insight and guidance throughout this project.
