AECOM Technology Corporation (NYSE:ACM), a leading provider of
professional technical and management support services for public and
private clients in more than 140 countries around the world, announced
today that it has been awarded an approximately US$13-million
consultancy contract for the design and an estimated US$103-million
contract for the construction supervision of the Tseung Kwan O – Lam Tin
(TKO-LT) Tunnel project in Hong Kong.
The TKO-LT Tunnel will include a 2.6-mile, two-lane highway connecting
Tseung Kwan O (TKO) at Po Shun Road in the east with the proposed Trunk
Road T2 in Kai Tak Development in the west.
The tunnel, along with the Central Kowloon Route and Trunk Road T2, will
form part of the city’s Route 6 — becoming an east-west express link
between the West Kowloon and TKO areas. The completion of Route 6 is
anticipated to reduce the travel time between West Kowloon and TKO from
30 minutes to 12 minutes.
“Since 2009, we have been involved in the planning of this project,
providing preliminary design and other services,” said AECOM Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer John M. Dionisio. “We are very proud to be
able to contribute to the project’s next phase.”
