MTR is Mass Transit Railway, it is the
underground railroad known as subway of Hong Kong city. It is one of the best
rapid transit railway sysytem in hong kong. MTR is one of the predictable,
adequate, safe and economical systems in the world. Its wideranging network
carries over 3 million wayfarer per day, connecting Hong Kong Island to the New
Territories. The travellers of the Hong Kong city, Metro will be able to
comfortably access the Services, thus declining the load on the routes.
In Hong Kong, the south Island line (east)
is having a medium capacity MTR covering approximately 7 kilometres long tunnel
from Admiralty station to South Horizons in Ap Lei Chau, with three
intermediate stations at Ocean Park, Wong Chuk Hang and Lie Tung. The tunnel is constructed with facade
engineering to give not only a attractive look but with new approaches to offer
an optimistic counterpoint to tight construction budget and climate change.
The endeavor associates with the
construction of two elevated stations at Ocean Park and Wong Chuk Hang. The
viaduct of 2 kilometres that forms the above ground section of the railway and
a long bridge of 246 metre over the Aberdeen Channel.
There is a new station built at Ocean Park that
hook up to the entry plaza of the marine theme park along an elevated walkway
although the one at Wong Chuk Hang is built with a public transport interchange
beneath. The viaduct has three sections, with the first crossing several busy
roads coming out of the Aberdeen Tunnel. The other two sectors are constructed
in or around a nullah or flood drainage channel.
Approach to several prominent locations,
such as South Island Line(East), will be improved by the metro rail. In
addition, the project will help in the development of infrastructure that is
vital for further growth of the public transport system of Hong Kong.
