PEDESTRIAN SUBWAYS NEAR YAU MA TEI TYPHOON SHELTER
Work will start shortly on the construction of pedestrian subways
and drainage works in the reclamation in Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Anchorage to provide
easier and safer pedestrian crossing of Tong Mi Road.
The work will involve the construction of two pedestrian subways off
Tung Kun Street and Dundas Street, and about 1,750 feet of stormwater drains.
The project forms part of the Tong Mi Road Extension Scheme, which
when completed, will become a major road linking Kowloon South with Tsuen Wan
in the New Territories.
Construction work is expected to start in August this year and should
take about 14 months to complete.

The construction of the first permanent training school for the
Preventive Service at Tai Lam Chung in the New Territories will begin in August

block and a four storey residential block able to accommodate 113 trainees.
Quarters for senior and junior staff will also be provided in three separate blocks.
A single storey gymnasium attached to the main residential building will
also serve as a multi-purpose hall.
The project is estimated to cost more than $5 million,
