EASTERN HARBOUR CROSSING PREPARATORY WORK ON SCHEDULE
*****
PREPARATORY WORK FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE EASTERN HARBOUR CROSSING IS PROCEEDING SMOOTHLY, AND EFFORTS ARE WELL IN HAND TO ACQUIRE POSSESSION OF THE LAND REQUIRED FOR THE PROJECT.
THIS WAS DISCLOSED TODAY (MONDAY) BY MR MIKE TURNER, GOVERNMENT'S PROJECT COORDINATOR FOR THE EASTERN HARBOUR CROSSING.
MR TURNER SAID THAT ALTHOUGH THE PROJECT WAS A PRIVATE SECTOR VENTURE, IT REPRESENTED A SIGNIFICANT ITEM WITHIN THE TERRITORY'S TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE.
+ BEING ONE OF THE LARGEST SINGLE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS EVER UNDERTAKEN IN HONG KONG, IT REQUIRES A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF DIRECT GOVERNMENT COORDINATION AND LIAISON TO ENSURE THAT THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED ON SCHEDULE, HE SAID.
THE MAIN TASKS OF MR TURNER AND HIS TEAM OF ENGINEERS ARE TO ASSIST THE NEW HONG KONG TUNNEL COMPANY LIMITED IN SPEEDING UP ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC INTEREST IS SAFEGUARDED.
ON THE PROGRESS OF THE PROJECT, MR TURNER SAID LAND ACQUISITION WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION PREPARATION.
+ AMONG THE PROBLEMS BEING ADDRESSED IN THIS CONNECTION IS RESETTLEMENT OF SQUATTERS ON THE LAND AFFECTED LARGELY IN THE CHA KWO LING AREA. A NEW TEMPORARY HOUSING AREA AT SAI TSO WAN IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION TO REHOUSE THOSE AFFECTED AND ACCEPTANCE OF SQUATTERS SHOULD BEGIN IN MAY, HE SAID.
MR TURNER POINTED OUT THAT A TEMPORARY WORKS AREA ON THE QUARRY BAY RECLAMATION HAS BEEN HANDED OVER TO THE COMPANY AND THIS WOULD BE THE LOCATION OF ONE OF THE MAIN SITE OFFICES.
+LAND RESUMPTION PROCEDURES WITH RESPECT TO THE REMAINING LAND ARE BEING EXPEDITED AND THIS PROCESS SHOULD ESSENTIALLY BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF THIS MONTH, HE SAID.
HE POINTED OUT THAT RESIDENTS LIVING NEAR AREAS SUCH AS QUARRY BAY WHERE CONSTRUCTION WORKS WOULD BE CARRIED OUT WERE NATURALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT.
