The Government is to build a new road adjoining a large building
development site near the junction of Shau Kei Wan Road and Chai Wan Road.
The new road will be 600 feet long, and the carriageway will vary
in width from 24 to 32 feet. An eight-foot wide concrete footpath will be
laid on either side of the road.
Ancillary drainage work will be carried out and a section of the
