Two submarine gas pipelines 450 millimetres in diameter will be laid by the Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited within an area of approximately 16.1 hectares of foreshore and seabed from the sea wall of To Kwa Wan across Victoria Harbour to the sea wall of North Point Police Station. This is to facilitate the construction of the Central Kowloon Route and the Cruise Terminal Development.
The proposed work is scheduled to commence in 2011 for completion by 2013.
