A WATERFRONT SITE ON CHAI WAN EAST RECLAMATION IS REZONED FROM GIC TO INDUSTRIAL AND OTHER SPECIFIED USES. THE CARGO HANDLING AREA WILL BE ENLARGED BY THE ADDITION OF 0.19 HECTARES OF LAND.
OBJECTIONS TO THE AMENDMENTS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED IN WRITING TO THE SECRETARY OF THE TOWN PLANNING BOARD BY SEPTEMBER 4.
REALIGNMENT OF NT CIRCULAR ROAD SECTION PROPOSED ******
THE GOVERNMENT IS PROPOSING TO ALTER THE ALIGNMENT OF A SECTION OF THE NEW TERRITORIES CIRCULAR ROAD BECAUSE OF OBJECTIONS TO THE ROAD'S ORIGINAL ALIGNMENT BY LOCAL RESIDENTS.
THE SECTION IS PART OF THE 12-KILOMETRE-LONG STRETCH OF THE CIRCULAR ROAD FROM AU TAU TO FAN KAM ROAD.
IT WILL RUN FROM YAU MEI SAN TSUEN TO WAI TSAI. THE SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT NOW PROPOSES TO RECOMMEND TO THE GOVERNOR-IN-COUNCIL THAT THE ROAD ALIGNMENT BE SHIFTED UP TO 65 METRES TO THE EAST AT YAU MEI SAN TSUEN.
THIS ALTERATION TO THE ALIGNMENT WOULD NECESSITATE OTHER CHANGES. A FOOTBRIDGE AT WAI TSAI WOULD BE DELETED FROM THE PROJECT AND A FOOTBRIDGE NEAR YAU MEI SAN TSUEN WOULD BE RELOCATED TO A POSITION ABOUT 120 METRES TO THE NORTH.
AMENDMENTS TO OTHER SECTIONS OF THE HIGHWAY ARE PROPOSED.
THESE INCLUDE REALIGNMENT FURTHER TO THE EAST OF CASTLE PEAK ROAD OF A 750-METRE-LONG SECTION OF THE CIRCULAR ROAD BETWEEN SHEUNG SAN WAI AND YAU ME! SAN TSUEN AND REPLACEMENT OF THE SINGLE TRUNK ROAD BRIDGE AT THE PLANNED FAIRVIEW PARK INTERCHANGE WITH TWO SHORTER BRIDGES AND AN EARTH EMBANKMENT IN THE CENTRE.
BESIDES THESE, A CULVERT WOULD BE BUILT ACROSS THE INTERCHANGE TO FURTHER IMPROVE THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM, AND A PEDESTRIAN UNDERPASS WOULD BE BUILT ACROSS THE TRUNK ROAD AND SERVICE ROADS AT THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THE INTERCHANGE.
TWO ADDITIONAL ACCESS ROADS JOINING SERVICE ROADS NEAR FAIRVIEW PARK INTERCHANGE AND NGAU TAM ME! ROAD WOULD ALSO BE CONSTRUCTED.
