| Project Detail |
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The key purpose of Wan Chai Development Phase II (WDII) is to provide land at Wan Chai North and North Point for the construction of the Central - Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link (hereafter referred to as "the CWB"). Land formed under the project will be developed as a waterfront promenade joining that at the new Central waterfront for public enjoyment.
Major elements of the WDII project include:
Formation of land along the existing coastline at Wan Chai North and North Point for the construction of the CWB;
Reprovisioning of affected existing facilities including cross harbour water mains, submarine sewage outfall pipelines, ferry piers, cooling water pumping systems and a salt water pumping station;
Extending Road P2 at Central Reclamation Phase III to Wan Chai North and re-aligning the existing Hung Hing Road;
Modification of existing roads for connection with the slip roads of the CWB tunnel; and
Construction of new pedestrian linkages to the new waterfront.
Interfacing Matters:
The WDII project has significant interfaces with Highways Departments Central-Wan Chai Bypass project. To facilitate implementation of the two projects, it has been agreed with Highways Department that works at one location will be carried out by a single contractor. Following this principle, part of the WDII works to the east of the ex-Wan Chai Public Cargo Working Area is entrusted to Highways Department, while the section of the Central-Wan Chai Bypass tunnel structure within WDII works area to the west of the foregoing boundary is entrusted to CEDD for construction under WDII.
The construction of the permanent government helipad to the north-east corner of HKCEC for replacing the temporary helipad at the ex-Public Cargo Working Area will also be carried out under one of the WDII contracts.
