EXTENSION OF THE JORDAN NULLAH
Part Of Kowloon Bay Development
The Jordan Nullah at Ngau Tau Kok, immediately west of Kwun Tong
Road, is to be extended shortly.
The work involves the construction of about 1,100 feet of a quadruple
box culvert in reinforced concrete.
The project is part of the proposed Kowloon Bay Development plan
which includes the eventual reclamation of 336 acres of land for light industrial,
commercial and storage usages.
Work is expected to be completed in about 15 months' time. On completion
of the culvert, the reclaimed area will be developed into a Mass Transit Depot.
