Theme Park and Associated DevelopmentsFinal Environmental Impact Assessment2.9.6 In the west the CKWLR will connect to the existing Yam O Interchange and on the eastern side tothe R10-NLYLH toll plaza; and in the long run to the conceptual RIO - Hong Kong - Lantau Link(R10-HKLL) at the Pa Tau Kwu Interchange. The alignment of the CKWLR begins at about +33mPD/ +26 mPD from Yam O and gradually descends to a level of about +15 inPD at the Penny'sBay roundabout. The Penny's Bay roundabout will be located to the north-west of the Penny'sBay GTP to provide local access via Road P2 to the Theme Park and the Water RecreationCentre. Access will be via an at-grade roundabout located below the CKWLR mainline.2.9.7 The CKWLR is expected to be in the form of a dual 3 lane carriageway with a design speed oflOOkmhr" 1 .CLWLR Constraints2.9.8 Key identified constraints for the alignment of the western section of the CKWLR include the YamO Interchange, the Penny's Bay Rail Link, the GTP, the need to provide a drainage reserve, andthe need for Road P2 connection.CKWLR Construction2.9.9 The required works for the construction of the CKWLR will include the use of heavy plant forexcavation, drilling, piling, concreting, surfacing and structures construction. Key activities willinclude:Demolition of Cheoy Lee Shipyard;Excavation works for the Yam O tie-in;Blasting works;Slope protection works;Construction of road foundations and superstructures from Yam O to Penny's Bay;Road surfacing and construction of road sections at grade from Yam O to Penny's Bay; andRoad surfacing and construction of elevated road sections from Yam O to Penny's Bay.2.9.10 It is understood that CED have previously committed that the use of wooden construction sitehoarding would not be allowed and metal (aluminium, alloy etc.) would be recommended as thiswould reduce the volume of construction and demolition waste for the Project.CKWLR Construction Phasing Schedule2.9.11 Construction of the CKWLR from Yam O Interchange to Penny's Bay roundabout is envisaged tocommence in Q3 2002 for completion in Ql 2005.CKWLR Traffic Forecasts2.9.12 The design traffic conditions and the percentage of heavy goods vehicles assumed in the air andnoise impact assessments are summarised m Figure 2.9b.ROAD P22.9.13 The approximately 4 km Road P2 (Primary Distributor) comprises an EIAO Schedule 2Designated Project, Table 2.3a.Scott Wilson (Hong Kong) Ltd in association with ERM Hong Kong 2-21Shankland Cox * Wilbur Smith Associates
