Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Reports for Central-Wan Chai Bypass and
Island Eastern Corridor Link (Register No. AEIAR-041/2001) and Wan Chai
Development phase II and Central-Wan Chai Bypass (Register No.: AEIAR-125/2008)
have been approved on 31 August 2001 and 11 December 2008 respectively.
2.1.2.
The key purpose of Wan Chai Development Phase II (WDII) is to provide land
at Wan Chai North and North Point for construction of the Central-Wan Chai
Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link (CWB). Land formed under the project
will be developed as a world-class waterfront promenade joining that at the new
Central waterfront for public enjoyment.
2.1.3.
There is a compelling and present need for the CWB to provide relief to
the very congested east-west Connaught Road Central/Harcourt Road / Gloucester
Road Corridor (the Corridor) which is currently operating beyond its capacity.
The CWB will provide relief to the existing congestion along the Corridor and
cater for the anticipated growth of traffic on Hong Kong Island. Without the
CWB and its access roads, there will not be sufficient capacity to serve the
heavy traffic demands at both strategic and local levels.
2.2.1.
Design and Construction of Central – Wan Chai
Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link under the Project involves the
construction and operation of a trunk road and its road tunnel more than 800m
in length between portals that is shown at Figure 2.1.
2.2.2.
The study area encompasses existing developments from Central to North Point. The scope of the Central-Wanchai Bypass (CWB) and Island Eastern Corridor Link (IECL) includes:
·
A dual three-lane trunk road, approximately 4.5 km in length, and tunnel
approximately 3.7 km in length defined from the connection with the existing
Rumsey Street Flyover in Central, through to a connection with the existing
Island Eastern Corridor to the east of the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter (CBTS);
·
The Central Interchange near the Rumsey Street Flyover to provide road
connections to the Central area;
·
Tunnel control buildings and ventilation buildings;
·
Slip roads to connect the CWB to the local road system in the Wan Chai
North and Causeway Bay area;
·
Associated road lighting, road signing, traffic control and surveillance
system; and
·
Other associated works.
2.2.3.
The project also contains various Schedule 2 DPs that, under the EIAO,
require Environmental Permits (EPs) to be granted by the DEP before they may be either
constructed or operated. Table 2.1 summarises the five individual
DPs under this Project. Figure 2.1 shows the locations of these Schedule 2 DPs.

Due to the multi-contract nature of the Project, there are a number of
contracts sub-dividing the whole works area into different work areas to be
commenced. Contractors of
individual contracts will be required by the EP holder to apply Further
Environmental Permits such that the impact monitoring stations are sub-divided accordingly to
facilitate the implementation of EM&A programme and to streamline the
EM&A reporting for individual FEP holders correspondingly.

were no cumulative construction impact due to the concurrent activities of the
current projects with the Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) undertaken by
contractor HK12/02 in the reporting month.
7.0.3.
According to the construction programme of
Central-Wanchai Bypass at Wanchai West at the Central Reclamation Phase III
area include road and drain works, backfilling works and reinstatement of
Culvert and Cooling mains and installation of irrigation piping at P1 road were
performed in July 2017 reporting month. As no project
related exceedance were recorded during the reporting period, cumulative
construction impact due to the concurrent activities of the current projects
with the Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) was considered as insignificant.
7.0.4.
According
to the construction programme of Wan Chai Development Phase II, Central-Wan
Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link projects, the major construction
activities under Wan Chai Development Phase II were, road and drains
construction, tunnel construction and backfilling works at Wan Chai West and
Wan Chai East. The major construction activities under Central-Wan Chai Bypass
and Island Eastern Corridor Link Projects were drainage works and ventilation
building construction at Central; temporary reclamation removal works at
Causeway Bay, road works and side wall construction at Victoria Park; bridge
construction, piling works, foundation works and building construction at North
Point area in the reporting month. In addition, other non-Wan Chai Development
Phase II, Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link projects was observed undertaken at Wan Chai North and North
Point area.
