Final Kilometre of East Coast Boardwalk to open tomorrow connecting 13 km long harboufront on Hong Kong Island
Spanning some 2.2 kilometres underneath the Island Eastern Corridor, the East Coast Boardwalk is divided into the eastern and western sections, each with a length of 1.1 kilometres. The Western Section, connecting the East Coast Park and the North Point Promenade, was opened earlier this year, and has been well received by the public. The Eastern Section, opening tomorrow, will further connect the North Point Promenade to Hoi Yu Street in Quarry Bay, realising the vision of “Seamless Boardwalk Linking Island West and East”.
Similar to the Western Section, the Eastern Section will open be 24 hours a day (except for the experiential glass observatory deck), and will offer a number of special features, including:
Similar to the Western Section, the Eastern Section adopts the management approach of a Harbourfront Shared Space and a pet-friendly venue. It features a shared path for visitors to engage in activities, such as strolling, jogging and cycling, while also providing a dedicated walkway for pedestrians as an additional option. Pet owners and their leashed pets can enjoy the facilities together. A movable bascule bridge has also been installed near Man Hong Street to facilitate marine operations.
The five access points to the Eastern Section (see Annex) are listed below from west to east:
An additional access point with a lift and staircase next to Tin Chiu Street Playground will be available in the first quarter of next year.
