Project Safety Plan


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.
