Central Kowloon Route (“CKR”) is a dual three-lane carriageway with a total length of 4.7km, linking Yau Ma Tei Interchange of West Kowloon with Kai Tak Development Area and road network of Kowloon Bay, forming a trunk road across central Kowloon. The CKR is an alternative express route, alleviating the traffic congestion of the existing major east-west transport corridors in central Kowloon. By constructing CKR, the surrounding environment will be improved, with greening and landscaping elements, re-provision of public facilities, and conservation of cultural heritage. Necessary environmental protection measures will also be implemented during the construction period.
