CASTLE PEAK ROAD THROUGH CASTLE PEAK
Reconstruction Work To Start Soon
Work will start shortly on the reconstruction of the Castle

The work will consist of the construction of about one mile
of dual carriageway, with cycle tracks, from near the Government clinic
at San Hui to just beyond the Fu Tei Road junction.
When completed, this project, together with another shortly
to be put in hand to the north of the Fu Tei Road junction, will provide
an unbroken length of dual carriageway from Castle Peak to Yuen Long.
"This will be of great benefit to both these communities," a
Government spokesman said.
Work is expected to start in August this year and should be
completed by about April in 1974.
While the work is in hand, the spokesman said, there will
be some interference to traffic involving temporary diversions, but
this will be kept to a minimum.
"All approaches to existing properties on both sides of the
new road will be reconstructed so as to maintain access to these
properties," he said.
Some roads and drainage works will also be carried out east
and west of the San Hui River Channel to provide access and drainage

part of the Castle Peak New Town.
