CAR PARK TO SERVE BEACHES IN THE N.T.
An open air car park is to be built between two popular beaches
on Castle Peak Road in the New Territories.
The car park, at the 111⁄2 milestone, will provide spaces for
122 cars, eight tourist buses and 15 motor cycles and will basically
serve Ting Kau and Lido beaches.
There will also be proper setting down
and picking up facilities for mini buses.
The arrangement will help improve the traffic and parking
conditions on this section of Castle Peak Road during weekends and
holidays.
Other works will be carried out at the same time, including the
improvement of a substandard bend on the road to the north of the site and the
provision of a right turning lane for traffic coming from Castle Peak
to the car park.
Construction of the car park and the associated road works
is expected to begin in July and take about 15 months to complete.
