TONG MI ROAD RECLAMATION PROJECT
Last Link In Seawall To Be Built Soon
+
The last link in the seawall for the Tong M Road extension and
reclamation scheme will be built in April.
The seawall, measuring over 1,000 feet, will be built at the
northeastern corner of Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter. It will link the
seawall opposite Oak Street with the one off Shan Tung Street.
Work is expected to be completed in nine months.
On completion of the seawall, an area of 23.2 acres of land will
be reclaimed to provide for cargo-handling areas, public open spaces and
major roadworks.
The reclamation will enable Tong Mi Road to be extended to form
part of a major waterfront route linking Teim Sha Tsui with Tsuen Wan.
The new coastal road is expected to relieve the traffic situation
in Nathan Road.
