ABERDEEN RECLAMATION
Some 11 acres of land is to be formed in Aberdeen Harbour as part
of the Aberdeen reclamation scheme,
The reclaimed area will extend between Wu Nam Street and the
Aberdeen Government Primary School and will provide land for the widening
of Aberdeen Main Road.
This road widening together with other roadwork projects are
urgently required to relieve traffic congestion on the roads both approaching
and passing through Aberdeen. A large part of the area not devoted to roadworks
will be developed as public open space.
The extent of the area involved is described in a notification in
today's gazette which calls upon all persons having objections to the
proposal or any claim of private right to submit such objections and/or
claims in writing to the Director of Public Works within two months.
