MAJOR ROAD WORKS IN WONG TAI SIN
***
TENDERS ARE BEING CALLED BY THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT FOR MAJOR ROAD AND DRAINAGE WORKS IN THE WONG TAI SIN AREA.
THE WORKS INCLUDE THE WIDENING OF A SECTION OF LUNG CHEUNG ROAD, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A DRAINAGE SYSTEM SOUTH OF FUNG TAK STREET.
LUNG CHEUNG ROAD, BETWEEN PO KONG VILLAGE ROAD AND HAMMER HILL ROAD, IS NOW ONLY TEN METRES WIDE AND CARRIES TWO-WAY TRAFFIC. THE NEW WORK WILL PROVIDE A TEN-METRE WIDE SEGREGATED CARRIAGEWAY IN EACH DIRECTION. THE WORK WILL ALSO INVOLVE THE EXTENSION OF FOOTBRIDGE TO CROSS OVER THE NEW CARRIAGEWAY NEAR SOCIAL AVENUE.
A PWD SPOKESMAN SAID THAT COMPLETION OF THE WORK WOULD MEAN THAT LUNG CHEUNG ROAD WOULD HAVE A DUAL CARRIAGEWAY OVER ITS FULL LENGTH.
THE WORK IS EXPECTED TO START IN SEPTEMBER AND TAKE ABOUT 18 MONTHS TO COMPLETE.
