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
Designed Project (DP) under the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (Cap.
499) (EIAO). The Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) Reports for Central-Wan Chai Bypass and
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
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
·
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.

7.0.4. According to the construction programme
of Wan Chai Development Phase II, Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern
Corridor Link projects, no construction works under Wan Chai Development Phase
II was conducted at Wan Chai. The major construction activities under
Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link Projects were
ventilation building ABWF works and modification works at Central; drainage
improvement work and utility diversion works at Victoria Park; bridge noise
enclosure installation works, road works, drainage works, soft landscape works
and ventilation building ABWF work at North Point area in the reporting period.
In addition, other non-Wan Chai Development Phase II, Central-Wan Chai 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. Although project
related exceedances were recorded during the noise monitoring events in the
reporting period, the relevant construction works were completed and no noise
exceedance was recorded in that monitoring station since after. 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.
8.0.1. The EM&A programme was carried out
in accordance with the EM&A Manual requirements, minor alterations to the
programme proposed were made in response to changing circumstances.
8.0.2. There was no non-compliance from the
site audits in the June,
July and August 2020
