6.12. In Kowloon to meet the requirements of the rapidly growing vehicular and pedestrian traffic and to tie in with the approved future level of Choi Hung Road, a section of Kai Tak Nullah wall was reconstructed. The invert of the nullah was also reconstructed to a special design so as to remove the foul dry-weather flow in the nullah and discharge it to a foul sewer in the vicinity. This should eliminate the major source of obnoxious smell in Kowloon Bay. Jordan Valley Nullah was extended at its upper end to tie in with a proposed Waterworks pumping station.
