EXTENSION OF KENNEDY TOWN SEAWALL
The seawall fronting the sand depot at Kennedy Town is to be ex-
tended westwards by 1,100 feet shortly.
The new seawall will enclose the second stage of the Kennedy
Town reclamation.
Stage One of the Kennedy Town reclamation, on which stands an
incinerator, a temporary bus terminus and sand depot, was completed a
few years ago.
A spokesman for the Public Works Department said that there had
been an increasing demand for land in the Kennedy Town area.
L
The new reclamation, he added, would provide about 3.6 acres of
land for a bus and ferry concourse, a market, a new site for the sand
depot and a section of a possible future waterfront road.
Construction of the seawall, estimated to cost about $2.1 million,
is expected to begin in December and will take about nine months to com-
plete.
The works have been designed and construction will be supervised
by the Port Works Division of the Civil Engineering Office, Public Works
Department.
