NEW ACCESS ROAD TO PRINCESS MARGARET HOSPITAL

A new road will soon be built in the Kwai Chung area to provide

access from Kwai Chung Road to the new Princess Margaret Hospital in

Lai Chi Kok.

The 34-foot-wide road, linking Ha Kwai Chung and Lai Chi Kok,

will run along the existing terraces to the northeast of Kwai Chung Road.

Site formation for the road and a 12-foot-wide footpath has

been completed.

The surfacing of the 5,200-foot carriageway and drainage work

are expected to begin in March and will take about 18 months to complete.

Referring to the surfacing of the footpath, a spokesman for

the Public Works Department said that it would be carried out later in

conjunction with development in the area.
