THE SECRETARY FOR LANDS AND WORKS. MR NICKY CHAN, ALSO SPEAKING AT THE CEREMONY, SAID THAT THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF THE EASTERN NEW TERRITORIES AND THE GROWTH OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHENZHEN SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE HAD INCREASED THE NEED FOR EFFICIENT ROAD CONNECTIONS IN THE NEW TERRITORIES.
+ AT THE MOMENT OTHER SECTIONS OF THE NEW TERRITORIES CIRCULAR TRUNK ROAD ARE EITHER UNDER CONSTRUCTION OR BEING DESIGNED.
+ IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE REMAINING SECTIONS BETWEEN FANLING AND TUEN MUN WILL BE COMPLETED BY 1990. AT THAT TIME, AND FOR THE NEXT DECADE AND BEYOND, THE NEW TERRITORIES WILL BE VERY WELL SERVED IN TERMS OF ROAD TRANSPORT, HE ADDED.
