Highlights :

In the project, dual 3-lane trunk road across central Kowloon is proposed linking the West Kowloon and the proposed Kai Tak Development (KTD) and connecting the West Kowloon Highway at Yau Ma Tei Interchange and the future Trunk Road T2 at KTD in order to fulfill the future need for traffic capacity across central Kowloon. Kai Tak West (KTW) is 1 of the 8 Contracts under the Central Kowloon Route (CKR). The main work of KTW includes the construction of tunnels under the seabed of Kowloon Bay and at Ma Tau Kok, and depressed roads and underpass at KTD.
