Overview

The Central Kowloon Route (“CKR”) is a dual three-lane carriageway with a total length of about 4.7km, linking Yau Ma Tei Interchange of West Kowloon with Kai Tak Development Area and road network of Kowloon Bay, significantly reducing the travelling time in between from about thirty minutes to five minutes during peak hours.

It will connect the future Trunk Road T2 and the Tseung Kwan O - Lam Tin Tunnel to form a strategic route between West Kowloon and Tseung Kwan O, namely Route 6.  

Being one of the eight main contracts of CKR, Kai Tak East contract (Contract No. HY/2018/02), mainly comprises the construction of an approximately 700-metre long CKR main line 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.
