FINAL WORK STARTING SOON ON CHA KWO LING ROAD
***
WORK ON CONSTRUCTING THE REMAINING SECTION OF CHA KWO LING ROAD, STRETCHING 1 100 METRES FROM THE SHELL OIL DEPOT TO CHA KWO LING QUARRY, IS EXPECTED TO START SOON.
THE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT IS INVITING TENDERS FOR THE PROJECT WHICH INVOLVES BUILDING A DUAL TWO-LANE CARRIAGEWAY WITH PROPER SURFACE AND DRAINAGE, TOGETHER WITH FOOTPATHS AND BUS BAYS ON BOTH SIDES.
WHEN THE WORK IS COMPLETED THE ROAD WILL SERVE AS AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE BETWEEN THE KWUN TONG AND YAU TONG AREAS, THE ONLY LINK AT PRESENT BEING LEI YUE MUN ROAD.
THE NEW ROAD WILL ALSO PROVIDE ACCESS TO CHA KWO LING VILLAGE AND A FUTURE CARGO HANDLING AREA ALONG THE WATERFRONT.
ASSOCIATED DRAINAGE WORK WILL IMPROVE THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE AREA. WHICH HAS BEEN PRONE TO FLOODING DURING HEAVY RAIN. ACCESS TO ADJACENT PREMISES ALONG THIS STRETCH OF ROAD OFTEN TURNS MUDDY AFTER RAIN BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF A PROPER ROAD SURFACE. THIS HAS BEEN THE SOURCE OF FREQUENT PUBLIC COMPLAINTS.
WORK ON THE PROJECT, WHICH WILL HELP BRING RELIEF TO THE INCREASING VOLUME OF TRAFFIC USING LEI YUE MUN ROAD, IS EXPECTED TO START IN JULY AND TAKE 18 MONTHS TO COMPLETE.
