Programme Highlights
Central Kowloon Route (CKR) is a 4.7 km long dual 3-lane trunk road in Central Kowloon linking Yau Ma Tei Interchange in West Kowloon with the road network on Kai Tak Development Area and Kowloon Bay in East Kowloon. CKR, together with Trunk Road T2 and Tseung Kwan O to Lam Tin Tunnel will form Route 6 alignment in the strategic road network. It is anticipated that CKR will relieve traffic congestion in the road network in Central Kowloon.
Kai Tak East (KTE) is one of the eight CKR construction stages. The KTE project is positioned strategically as the exit of CKR in Kowloon East to connect Kowloon Bay, Kwun Tong and Kai Tak Development Area together and link with the future Trunk Road T2 and the Tseung Kwan O - Lam Tin Tunnel to form Route 6.
As part of the eight main Contracts of CKR, Kai Tak East (Contract No. HY/2018/02), which is the first NEC contract in the CKR Project, mainly comprises the construction of an approximately 700-metre long CKR main road in Kai Tak, the construction of the Kai Tak Interchange, including bridges, underpasses and associated at-grade slip roads, connecting the CKR with the existing road network and other associated works.
This technical visit will begin with an introduction of the project highlights, bridge construction and application of safety innovation at CKR-KTE Site Office. Through the site visit, participants will be able to enter the KTE bridge deck to oversee construction of bridges, underpass and ventilation adit. A Q&A session will be held after the visit.
