POKFULAM ROAD TO BE WIDENED
To Ease Traffic Flow To Wah Fu Estate And Aberdeen
Plans on improving Pokfulam Road, which carries increasing
traffic due to the rapid development of the Aberdeen area and Wah Fu
Estate, are being realised.
Certain sections of the road have been widened and it is intended
to continue the improvement in stages.
The next stage is aimed at improving traffic on the section
of the road between its junction with Mount Davis Road and Queen Mary
Hospital.
The widened Pokfulam Road will provide a four-lane carriageway
with footways on both sides.
The proposed works will involve alterations to the alignment,
width and levels of the existing Pokfulam Road, and an announcement in
the Government Gazette giving notice of an order to be made under the
Streets (Alteration) Ordinance for this project is made today.
The closing date for objections will be July 16, 1972 and any
claims for compensation should be made by August 16, 1972.
