THE PROPOSED WORK WILL INVOLVE CHANGES IN LEVEL AND ALIGNMENT OF THE EXISTING CLEARWATER BAY ROAD IN THIS AREA.
AS A RESULT OF THIS, THE EXISTING ROAD WILL BE CUT OFF FROM THE WESTERN SECTION BELOW JATS
INCLINE.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT SAID THAT DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FLYOVER, TRAFFIC WOULD CONTINUE TO USE THE EXISTING ROAD.
