This elevated walkway in North Point will open next month |
When I used to live in Hong Kong, my friend and I would walk from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan -- but with a few detours along the way because the footpaths weren't all connected.
But it's good to hear another section is completed, a 1.1km strip in North Point will be ready for the public by Chinese New Year, or late January.
The harbourfront boardwalk is an elevated road in the Eastern Corridor that cost HK$6.5 billion (US$837.3 million) that is helping to connect Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan in a 13km pedestrian-friendly promenade.
According to Harbourfront Commission chairman Ivan Ho Man-yiu, the boardwalk project is the "last piece of the puzzle" that will complete the promenade connecting from Shek Tong Tsui in Western district to Aldrich Bay in Shau Kei Wan.
Looking forward to trying out this boardwalk the next time I'm in Hong Kong.
