CASTLE PEAK ROAD WIDENING
Friday, September 22, 1972
The section of Castle Peak Road between Kwai Chung Road and Texaco
Road will be widened to provide easier access to Tsuen Wan and the western
New Territories.
This 4-lane section of Castle Peak Road, which is about 4,000 feet
in length, will be reconstructed to provide a 6-lane dual carriageway.
There will be two 33-foot wide carriageways with a six-foot central
divider. Footpaths 14 feet wide will be provided on each side of the road.
Construction work is expected to begin in November and take about
15 months.
When this part of Castle Peak Road is widened, it will be able to
cope with future traffic requirements in the area.
