WORK STARTS NEXT MONTH ON KOWLOON BAY STATION
Work will begin next month on that part of the overhead Mass Transit
Railway known as Kowloon Bay Station and the adjacent line sections, footbridge,
and Kwun Tong Road improvements.
Details of the effect on Kwun Tong Road resulting from the construction
works are notified in today's Government Gazette.
The station will be sited immediately to the swest of Kwun Tong Road
south of the junction with the Ngau Tau Kok and Choi Wan Roads.
From time to time during the period of construction, parts of Kwun
Tong Road will be reduced to a minimum of two lanes of traffic in each direction.
However, these restrictions will not be imposed until the new Wai Yip
Street Extension has been completed at the end of July 1976. This will provide
an alternative route with the additional capacity of four traffic lanes.
Plans showing the areas affected by the project are displayed at the
City District Office, Central and Western Enquiries Office, Central Government
Offices, West Wing, the Crown Lands and Survey Office, 10th floor, Kowloon
Government Offices Building, 405 Nathan Road, and the City District Office, (Kwun Tong), Kwun Tong District Branch Offices Building, Tung Yan Street, 3rd floor
3rd floor, Kowloon.
The Notice gazetted today stipulates that any person making a claim
for compensation must send his claim in writing to the Director of Publi
Works. The claim must reach the office of the Director before the expiration
of one year from the date of closure of the street or from the completion of the
substantial alteration which is alleged to have caused the pecuniary loss or
damage.
