ROAD REPAIRS IN FULL SWING
The Public Works Department expects to take between one and six
months to completely repair all roads affected by the recent rainstorms.
A number of contractors have been engaged and the men have been
working 12 hours, and in some cases 24 hours a day, to try to get the roads
passable.
Altogether 11 roads are still affected, 10 of these are either blocked
or closed because of the dangerous state of buildings or rocks nearby, and
the other, Conduit Road, although still damaged, has been opened to residents
only.
The closed roads are: Po Shan Road, Kotewall Road, Honiton Road,
Barker Road, Severn Road, Plantation Road, Gough Hill Road, Plunkett's Road,
Robinson Road, and Tại Tam Road, which is blocked in two places.
In some cases alternative routes are available and passes to residents
have been issued where this is possible.
Tai Tam Road, which forms part of the round the Island link, is expected
to be opened to limited traffic before the end of August,
