Elevated walkways across Harcourt Road and Tim Mei Avenue gazetted ********************************************************* The Government published a notice in the Gazette today (November 28) on a proposal to construct two elevated walkways across Harcourt Road and Tim Mei Avenue to meet the future pedestrian demand arising from the Tamar Development Project. Proposed works include an elevated walkway across Harcourt Road connecting Tamar and the footpath adjacent to Admiralty Centre, consisting of a western walkway approximately 5 metres wide and an eastern covered walkway approximately 8 metres wide. The works also involve building a covered elevated walkway approximately 6.5 metres wide across Tim Mei Avenue to connect Tamar and the existing Citic Tower Elevated Walkway System; provision of escalators, staircase and lifts associated with the proposed elevated walkways; and ancillary works such as drainage, landscaping and utility works. Some sections of the existing carriageways, footpaths and amenity areas will be temporarily or permanently closed and reconstructed. The plan and scheme of the works are available for public inspection at the following government offices during office hours: (i) Central and Western District Office, Public Enquiry Service Centre, Unit 5, Ground Floor, The Center, 99 Queen's Road Central; and (ii) District Lands Office, Hong Kong West and South, 20th Floor, Southorn Centre, 130-150 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai. Any person who wishes to object to the proposed works or the use, or both, should write to the Secretary for Transport and Housing, 16th Floor, Murray Building, Garden Road, Hong Kong, on or before January 27, 2009.
