Fanling Bypass Eastern Section To Open Sunday

The Fanling to East section is scheduled to open on May 3 at 8:00 AM. This 4 km dual-two-lane carriageway connects the Fanling Highway to the northern metropolis development. The project utilized an extra-strong type of steel and specific construction methods to reduce costs. It marks the first major transport infrastructure project completed in the northern metropolis development. A 4 km dual-toll lane carriageway connecting Fanling Highway to the local network is scheduled to open this Sunday. The project involves a dual-tool lane carriageway structure. Information officer Jeanette Lee stated the department will distribute waterproof maps to identify dense coral and shallow water areas. Snorkelers are urged to avoid these specific locations. The Fanling North New Development Area bypass is expected to reduce travel time to and from Kowloon by 10 minutes. This construction marks the first use of the horizontal bridge rotation method to span a section across the East Rail Line. Chief Engineer Paek-in-Chang from the Civil Engineering and Development Department stated that a bridge spanning the East Rail Line was installed using a method that allowed workers to build a temporary structure before rotating it into final placement over two nights. This method was used to enhance speed and efficiency while working at night to avoid disrupting the rail line.
