Fat Kwong Street was originally a short street in Hung Hom. In 1967, the government proposed to build a new road link between Hung Hom and Mong Kok via Ho Man Tin, by connecting Fat Kwong Street to Pui Ching Road.[1] To facilitate this scheme, a flyover was built over Princess Margaret Road at a cost of around HK$2.1 million, which was completed in 1970.[2][3] The new road link was constructed, in part, to serve major government housing developments in the Ho Man Tin area.
The eastern part of Fat Kwong Street was closed in September 1970 due to landslides.[4] Major repairs were required, and the street did not reopen until June 1971.[5]
Fat Kwong Street is approximately 1.45 km (0.90 mi) long, stretching from Princess Margaret Road to Ma Tau Wai Road. It is classified by the Hong Kong government as a district distributor road.[6]
