Project Description
The Central Interchange is part of the 4.5km Central-Wan Chai Bypass (CWB) trunk
road project linking the Rumsey Street Flyover in Central to the Island East Corridor
(IEC) in North Point. The works comprise mainly a cut and cover tunnel starting from
the west portal to connect the section East of Man Yiu Street under the Central
Reclamation contract, an approach structure with a series of retaining walls, linking
the tunnel portal with surface level and elevated roadways towards the west.
Scope of work
Cut and cover tunnel between the CWB west portal and the limit of tunnel to be
completed under the CRIII contract 224 kilometres
Approach ramp leading to the CWB west portal 116 kilometres
Bridge deck for westbound carriageway of Rumsey Street flyover extension 190
kilometres
Bridge for eastbound slip road of Rumsey Street flyover extension 115kilometres
At grade roads between bridges and approach ramp
Realignment / reconstruction of adjacent existing roads and services
Precast concrete roof panels to form ventilation ducts in the tunnel 1120
kilometres Landscaping
The Central Interchange project site is located within a busy business district in
Central. Comprehensive traffic diversion schemes and utility diversions / protection
measures are required at various stages to facilitate the construction of the
interchange tunnel, viaduct and roads.
A Community Liaison Centre (CLC) will need to be established at early stage of the
contract to interface with various stakeholders and mange public issues. Detailed
planning in site logistics is required to tackle the restrictions due to limited compound
space and room around the works areas, especially during the construction of
diaphragm walls and excavation of tunnel structures.
The work is commenced in September 2010 and is anticipated to be completed by thethird quarter of 2016.
