Stage II involves constructing a seawall between Soy Street and
Cherry Street on the north, and another between Lee Tat Street and Han
Cheung Street on the south. Both seawalls are also nearing completion.
Stage III includes building a seawall in the north-east corner of the
Yau Ma Tei typhoon shelter. This is now in catagory "A" of the Public Works
Programme and work on it will begin soon.
Meanwhile, construction of roads and drains on the reclamation in
Yau Ma Tei typhoon anchorage is to begin in May this year.
It involves reconstructing the existing carriageway, a central
divider and footpath to parts of Ferry Street, Tong Mi Road, Argyle Street and
Cherry Street.
A 3,500-foot three-lane dual carriageway will also be constructed
on the reclamation linking Ferry Street and Cherry Street. About 25,000 square
yards of cargo handling area will also be built.
In addition, 6,200 feet of storm water drains, with sizes ranging from
nine to 72 inches in diameter, will be laid.
On completion, these works will forn a major road linking Ferry
Street with Tong Mi Road.
These works are expected to be completed in the second half of next
year, and the whole reclamation for the Tong Mi Road Extension scheme at the end
of 1974.
