RAILWAY IMPROVEMENT WORKS *****
THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IS INVITING TENDERS FOR DOUBLE TRACKING THE KOWLOON-CANTON RAILWAY AND ASSOCIATED WORKS FROM SHEUNG SHUI TO LO WU STATION.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE DEPARTMENT SAID TODAY THAT THE PROJECT WOULD PLAY AN IMPORTANT PART IN THE KCR MODERNISATION AND ELECTRIFICATION PROGRAMME.
IT CONSISTS OF A WIDENED EMBANKMENT AND A SECOND TRACK OF ABOUT THREE KILOMETRES LONG, AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THREE EXISTING BRIDGES.
ON COMPLETION, HE SAID, THERE WILL BE MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS TO BOTH PASSENGER AND FREIGHT CARRYING CAPACITY TO MEET THE NEW REQUIREMENTS OF THE RAILWAY.
ALSO INCLUDED IN THE CONTRACT IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FENCE ALONG EACH SIDE OF THE TRACKS. THIS WILL ENSURE THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE ELECTRIFIED TRAIN SERVICE AND SAFEGUARD THE PUBLIC IN VIEW OF INCREASED TRAIN SPEED AND FREQUENCY.
*ORK IS EXPECTED TO START IN NOVEMBER AND BE COMPLETED EY MID-1982.
THE PROJECT HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTION WILL BE SUPERVISED BY THE PWD RAILWAY DIVISION ON BEHALF OF THE KCR.
