Summary
1. East West Corridor: Construction in full swing. Target
completion in 2019North South Corridor: Works in early stage.
Target completion in 2021
2. Harbour Planning Principles have been taken into account:
Land intake needed for construction works minimized
Land requirement periodically reviewed to strive for returning
the land progressively
Maintain connectivity to waterfront with clear signage and
favourable pedestrian environment during and after construction
Keep the public and Harbourfront Commission posted of the SCL
works progress and land requirement
3. On-going coordination with development plans under the Urban
Design Study for the Wan Chai North and North Point Harbourfront
Areas
