BARRIERS TO PROTECT KAI TAK RUNWAY
Additional barriers are to be constructed near the Kai Tak
Airport runway extension to prevent vessels from approaching too close
to the marine prohibited area.
The construction of protective dolphins will be extended along
the glide approach path to a point 1,900 feet beyond the southeast tip
of the extended runway.
A government spokesman explained that vessels approaching too
close to the prohibited area might affect the electronic equipment which
were necessary to guide aircraft landing.
Notices in English and Chinese, outlining the boundary of the
affected area have been posted near the site.
Any person who has objections to the proposal or claims of pri-
vate right should present his case in writing to the Director of Public
Works within two months from the date of notification.
