TWO FOOTBRIDGES FOR CHOI HUNG ROAD
People living in the densely populated Wong Tai Sin and San Po Kong
areas will soon be able to cross busy Choi Hung Road in greater safety.
A pedestrian footbridge is at present being built across the road at
its junction with Sha Tin Pass Road, while plans have been drawn up for another
one some 180 yards further down Choi Hung Road to connect Tai Shing Street and
Tseuk Luk Street.
These overhead footbridges will make it possible to separate pedestrians
from vehicular traffic at the two busy road junctions and to ensure a smoother
traffic flow.
As steel girders for one of the footbridges will be laid across Choi
Hung Road late tomorrow night, a section of the road between Tai Shing Street
and Sha Tin Pass Road will be closed from 11.55 p.m. tomorrow until 6 a..
on Saturday (August 5).
Alternative traffic routing will be introduced and appropriate signs
will be placed there to guide motorists.
The plans for the second footbridge, which will affect a small area of
private land, can be inspected at the Central Enquiry Sub-office, Central
Government Offices, West Wing Entrance, Hong Kong; the Crown Landa and Survey
Office, 10/F., Kowloon Government Offices, Nathan Road, or at the City District
Office (Wong Tai Sin), Paris Theatre Building, King Fuk Street, San Po Kong.
Any person objecting to the plan or wishing to make a claim for compensation
must send his objection or claim in writing to the Director of Public Works to
reach him not later than September 4 and October 4, 1972 respectively.
