Causeway Bay Reclamation
5.33. This reclamation is required for a further section of the Waterfront Road and work on the seawall was almost finished. As much of the area required for the road as was possible without interfering with the temporary drainage system, was reclaimed.
Development Works
5.34. Two site-formation projects were carried out. Work on a site for a service reservoir in Cloud View Road was completed while good progress was made on levelling a hill top near Braemar Hill Road to provide land for housing development and schools. The excavated materials from these two sites constituted a large proportion of the filling material for the Wan Chai and Causeway Bay reclamations.
Aberdeen
5.35. The construction of the two breakwater arms situated in Aberdeen Channel was substantially completed.
Queen's Pier
5.36. A new flexible fendering system was installed at Queen's Pier to accommodate the larger vessels now using it in increasing numbers.
Aldrich Bay
5.37. Work progressed satisfactorily on the rubble mound breakwater which will form a typhoon shelter at the fishing port of Shau Kei Wan. Dredging work was completed and the dredged trench was backfilled with selected decomposed granite to form the foundation; the placing of the rock mound itself was well advanced.
Kowloon Bay Reclamation
5.38. Progress on the construction of a further 1,000 ft. of seawall to permit further reclamation of Kowloon Bay fell behind schedule, but three quarters of the job have now been completed.
Cheung Sha Wan Reclamation
5.39. The last section of the seawall required to retain the Cheung Sha Wan reclamation was completed.
Yau Ma Tei Slipway Reprovisioning
5.40. The construction of three slipways and a pier was completed while the installation of machinery and equipment continued.
