PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT

The Highways Department of the Hong Kong Government has engaged Bouygues Travaux Publics (BTP) as the main contractor for the central tunnel under the Central Kowloon Route (CKR) project. The CKR will be a 4.7km dual three-lane strategic trunk road in Central Kowloon, providing an alternative express route to relieve traffic congestion on the major east-west corridors.
The Scenario software platform was selected to supply the Electronic Project Document Management, as well as the New Engineering Contract (NEC) Functionality for the CKR – Central Tunnel project. Scenario provides visibility to key project stakeholders including asset owners, financiers, program and project managers – managing information, processes and contracts throughout the project lifecycle.
The project value is estimated to be HKD $6.226 billion. At the contract signing ceremony the Director of Highways, Mr Jimmy Chan said that the contract for the central tunnel is the highest value New Engineering Contract (NEC) adopting a target cost contract option awarded by the Government so far. The NEC emphasises mutual trust and co-operation between the contracting parties and has provisions to enhance cost effectiveness and reduce risk.
Once complete, it is estimated that the journey time between West Kowloon and Kowloon Bay during peak hours will be reduced to approximately five minutes – representing a reduction of about 25 minutes. The project is expected to be commissioned in 2025.
