LONG TERM REMEDIAL WORKS FOR KOFEWALL ROAD LANDSLIP:
GOVERNMENT TO RESUME TWO PROPERTIES
Certain properties in the Conduit Road/Kotewall Road landslip
area in the Mid-Levels will be resumed in order to allow large-scale
engineering works to be carried out.
The Director of Public Works, Mr. A.S. Robertson, said today
that these works were essential to make the area safe.
The properties to be resumed are Nos. 51 C and D Conduit Road. They
will be resumed to enable the construction of a retaining slope from Conduit
Road to Po Shan Road.
Mr. Robertson said he was satisfied that all possible short-term
measures had been taken to make the disaster area safe from the effect of
further rainfall.
"However the possibility of further landslips in the area could not
be completely ruled out."
"I now propose to forge ahead with long-term measures to make the area
safe," he said.
"It is planned to begin these works in mid-October and to complete
them before next summer's rains."
