10 Conclusion
2.1.1. “Wan Chai Development phase II and
Central-Wan Chai Bypass” and “Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern
Corridor Link” (hereafter called “the Project”) are Designated Project (DP) under the Environmental
Impact Assessment Ordinance (Cap. 499) (EIAO).
The 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.

2.3.1. 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.

According to Condition 3.4 of the EP-364/2009/G, this section addresses
the relevant cumulative construction impact due to the concurrent activities of
the current projects including the Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII), Wan
Chai Development Phase II (WDII), Central-WanChai Bypass (CWB), Island Eastern
Corridor Link projects (IECL) and Wan Chai Development Phase II – Central – Wan
Chai Bypass at Wan Chai East (CWB Tunnel).
7.0.2.
According to the Final EM&A Report of Central Reclamation
Phase III (CRIII) for Contract HK 12/02, the major construction activities were
completed by end of January 2014 and no construction activities were undertaken
thereafter and the water quality monitoring was completed in October
2011. As such, it is considered that
there 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 period.
7.0.3.
According to the construction programme of Central-Wanchai Bypass at
Wanchai West at the Central Reclamation Phase III area, no works was conducted
in March 2020 reporting period. In view of the above, the cumulative
construction impact due to the Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) was not
anticipated.
7.0.4.
According to the construction programme of Wan Chai Development Phase
II, Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link projects, lighting
column installation works under Wan Chai Development Phase II was conducted at

Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link projects were observed undertaken at
Wan Chai North and North Point area.
7.0.5.
As relevant site mitigation measures for air quality and construction
noise were implemented, no significant air quality impact and noise impact from
construction activities was concluded in the reporting period. Besides, no project related exceedance
was recorded during the air quality and noise environmental monitoring events
in the reporting period.Thus, it is evaluated that the cumulative construction impact from the
concurrent projects including Wan Chai Development Phase II (WDII),
Central-WanChai Bypass (CWB), Island Eastern Corridor Link projects (IECL) was
insignificant.
