Commenting on the project, a spokesman for the Public Works
Department said that the establishment of container facilities on
Canton Road and the build-up of traffic generated in recent years had
resulted in congested conditions on Canton Road during peak traffic
hours.
The volume of traffic on Canton Road will continue to increase
as further development proceeds and, in particular, following the com-
pletion of Tong Mi Road Extension.
However, he added that after the completion of the new road,
which would considerably relieve the traffic in the area, the existing
Canton Road from Navy Street southwards would be used purely as a service
road.

Copies of a sketch plan of the project are
