Level 1: Minimising social and cultural impact.

In the alignment design, the Highways Department of the HKSAR Government adopted a 3-level approach to achieve sustainability. Sustainable road design – Routing selection strategy With the reduced traffic, the noise and air pollutant levels will decrease with an improvement to the environment of nearby neighbourhoods such as Yau Ma Tei, Ho Man Tin, Wong Tai Sin and Kowloon City. This underground artery through the heart of Kowloon will divert the traffic away from the existing at-grade district distributors and local distributors in Central Kowloon road network. It will bring the Kowloon East and TKO New Town closer to the western portion of Hong Kong and other Greater Bay Area cities through the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and thus will help drive the economic development of South East Kowloon and South East New Territories through improved connectivity. In a broader regional perspective, the CKR will further connect with Trunk Road T2, which is currently under construction, forming part of the Hong Kong’s strategic road Route 6, providing an important road link from West Kowloon to Tseung Kwan O (TKO) New Town with intermediate interchanges at Kai Tak and Lam Tin.

On the western side, the Yau Ma Tei Interchange of the CKR will provide comprehensive slip roads connecting to the West Kowloon Development, Western Harbour Crossing and Hong Kong Island in the south, to Kwai Tsing Container Terminal and Hong Kong International Airport in the west, as well as to the northwest New Territories in the north, that largely enhance linkages between districts across the territory. It is expected to shorten the journey time between Yau Ma Tei and Kowloon Bay during peak hour from 30 minutes to about 5 minutes upon its anticipated commissioning in 2025. The CKR is an alternative express route bypassing the congested Central Kowloon area. The dual three-lane carriageway with a total length of 4.7 km links the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) and Kai Tak Development Area to support the development of the world-class integrated arts and cultural destination at WKCD and the evolvement of Kowloon East into a vibrant premier business district.įigure 1: The alignment of Central Kowloon Route Good for distracted parents who may be attending to crying children when stopped at the lights.Central Kowloon Route: Linking east with westĬontent provided by the Highways Department with the coordination of the HKIE Civil DivisionĬentral Kowloon Route (CKR) holds the key to relieve congestion on existing east-west corridors in Central Kowloon by providing a high capacity segregated trunk road to connect East and West Kowloon.
