The Government announced today (June 12) that the Chief Executive in Council (CE in Council) had approved the financial arrangement for the Smart and Green Mass Transit System (SGMTS) in East Kowloon (East Kowloon Project).
A Government spokesman said, “The Government has been taking forward the East Kowloon Project in full force through a policy and technological ‘dual-innovation’ mindset and a people-oriented principle. By virtue of professionalism, the project team overcame technical obstacles, proactively enhanced the design, and expedited the completion of various statutory procedures. Following the approval of the financial arrangement of the project by the CE in Council, the Government plans to invite tenders for the project in July this year, with a target to award the contract next year for commissioning on or before 2033.
