WAN CHAI RECLAMATION TO BE FURTHER DEVELOPED
Cargo-Handling Area Planned
Road and drainage works are to be carried out on the Wan Chai
Reclamation east of the ferry pier concourse to form a cargo-handling area
and to cater for future building development.
The road works for the cargo handling area will include the building
of two carriageways and a 12-foot concrete loading and unloading apron.
A parking strip 25 feet wide will be constructed next to the apron.
Roads in the cargo handling area will be fenced off, and they will
be managed by the Marine Department.
To cater for future building development, two carriageways will be
built linking the area with the main road network on the reclamation.
Footpaths will be provided to the new roads.
The drainage works will include the construction of storm water
drains and sewers in the new roads and their connections to the main drainage
system.
Construction is expected to start in March next year, and will take
about a year to complete.
