HOW TO CREATE MORE PARK

Existing Conditions

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.


With Proposed Alignment

When construction is complete, a majority of the bypass is covered not by solid reclamation, but by water. This proposal results in about 5.5 hectares net increase in park area with 0.7 hectare of landscaped bridges directly connecting Victoria Park to the harbourfront.
