During the construction of the bypass
and potential mass transit rail lines under Gloucester Road,
the surface roadways in front of Victoria Park are moved inland,
temporarily reducing the park by 1.8 hectares.
For this Victoria Park section, a total of 1.9 hectares of
reclamation is required:
 |
About 0.9 hectare at the eastern
edge of the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter, where the new
local tunnel (replacement of existing flyover) is covered
by the “urban” beach. |
 |
 |
 |
About 1.0 hectare over the on/off
ramps of the bypass at the southwest corner of the Typhoon
Shelter |
Similar to the government options,
additional reclamation will be required near the Hong Kong
Convention and Exhibition Centre.
