A JV of Arup and Mott MacDonald, as a 50:50 partnership, has been appointed by the Highways Department of Hong Kong SAR Government to provide full detailed design consultancy and construction supervision services for the proposed new Central Kowloon Route (CKR) highway and tunnel in Hong Kong.
The CKR scheme will comprise a dual 3-lane east-west trunk road across central Kowloon of approximately 5km length. It will connect the West Kowloon Highway at Yau Ma Tei Interchange with the road network at Kowloon Bay and the future Trunk Road T2 at Kai Tak Development, which in turn will connect to the future Tseung Kwan O – Lam Tin Tunnel. The works will include two major interchanges, cut-and-cover tunnels, building reprovisioning, a section of underwater tunnel and a 3.9 km-long rock tunnel.
