IMPROVEMENT OF YUEN LONG NULLAH BUND
To Carry Vehicular Traffic
The nullah bund between Tai Kei Leng and Tong Tau Po in Yuen Long will be improved shortly to carry vehicular traffic.
The improvement work will mainly involve the strengthening of
about one mile of the existing nullah bund.
At the Tong Tau Po end, a turning circle will also be constructed. The new road will have a 10-foot-wide carriageway with a 3-foot-wide footpath on one side.
Work on the project will start in April and will take about four months to complete.
Correnting on the project, a spokesman for the Public Works Department said: "The sealing surface on the bund, which is heavily used by both lorries and cars, has shown signs of deterioration and has becomo inadequate in strongth to carry vehicular traffic."
He added that the new road, when completed, would provide better access to villages adjacent to the nullah between Tai Kei Leng and Tong Tau Po which have a population of over 15,000.
