6.9.5 Conclusions— This is likely to be a worthwhile project for investment for the late1 990s, to provide relief to the Lion Rock and Tate's Cairn tunnels which could reachcapacity by the end of the century. More than most other projects, the need forRoute 1 6 depends critically on actual traffic growth.6.10 The RecommeodecS Highway6.1 0.1 The CTS-2 Study recommends a $20 billion (in 1 988 prices) construction programmefor highway projects for construction in the 1 990s. The programme is summarised inTable 6.4 and the locations of the major road projects are shown in Figure 6.3. It isnoted that preliminary design of some of the projects is in hand and the latest costestimates may be different from those shown in Table 6.4 due to various reasons,including site conditions, foundations and complexity of design.6.10.2 The recommended highway strategy includes the construction of three trunkhighways:(1 ) Route 3 from the Western District of Hong Kong Island to Yuen Long, via theWestern Harbour Crossing and northwards on new reclamation along the westside of the Kowloon peninsula, through Tsing Yi Island and then through theTai Lam Country Park, mostly in tunnel.(2) Route 7 on Hong Kong Island, extending from the current end of the IslandEastern Corridor in Causeway Bay through the planned Central and Wan ChaiReclamation to Western and round the coast to Aberdeen.(3) A new route which extends the Hung Horn Bypass from Tsim Sha Tsui, alongthe east side of the Kowioon peninsula, across the Hung Horn Bay Reclamationand under the airport in a Second Airport tunnel to an interchange with theKwun Tong Bypass now under construction.Recommended Highway Priorities6.10.3 , ......The Jilghest priority., js for Route 3. .(Western .......Harbour ......... Crossing), it is currentlyplanned as a 6-lane immersed tube tunnel connecting Western District on HongKong Island with the west side of the Kowloon peninsula. It would requirecompletion of the southern arm of the West Kowioon Reclamation to provide aKowloon landfall.6.10.4 A section of Route 7 on Hong Kong Island from Sai Ying Pun to Kennedy Town isscheduled early to provide adequate connections for the Western Harbour Crossing.6.1 0.5 TheWesi^ be built on the planned West Kowloon Reclamation,is of high priority. However, current indications are that the reclamation cannotbe completed until' the late 1990s. Until then, the 4-lane elevated West KowloonCorridor highway, which is expected to be completed in the early 1990s, wouldserve as the main trunk road in West Kowloon.6.10.6 Early priority is given for the improvements to South Kwai Chung Road. Phases IIand ill of this scheme form part of Route 3, linking the West Kowloon Expressway tothe section of Route 3 on Tsing Yi Island. As a temporary measure in advance ofcompletion of the West Kowloon Expressway, it is recommended that this project beextended south around the bottleneck of Lai Chi Kok bridge to connect with theWest Kowloon Corridor highway.6.10.7 Despite a high economic priority, the extensions of ..... Route 3 ..... fromjhe .....South KwaiChung Road Improvements northwards to Tsing Yi and then on ...... to Yuen Long arescheduled later in the highway programme, This is partly for funding reasons, andalso to avoid overloading the" ....... routes through West Kowloon before the WestKowloon Expressway can be completed in the late 1 990s.112
