FOOTBRIDGE PLANNED FOR TSUEN WAN
The Public Works Department plans to build a pedestrian footbridge
over Castle Peak Road at its junction with Chung On Street in Tsuen Wan to
reduce the risk of traffic accidents.
A Government spokesman said today that the junction has been the
scene of a large number of accidents involving pedestrians,
As the southern staircase of the proposed footbridge lies in Chung
On Street, the width of a section of the street will have to be permanently
reduced from 40 feet to 18 feet.
Traffic along this narrow section, which lies between Castle Peak
Road and Shiu Wo Street, will have to be routed one way, south bound.
People affected have one month to lodge an objection against the
proposed footbrdige or two months to make a claim for compensation.
