WONG TAI SIN ROAD NETWORK BEING EXPANDED
*****
THE HIGHWAYS DEPARTMENT IS INVITING TENDERS FOR BUILDING AN EASTERN ACCESS ROAD TO CONNECT MA CHAI HANG AND CHUK YUEN WITH THE EXISTING ROAD NETWORK IN WONG TAI SIN.
THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE A DIRECT CONNECTION AT LUNG FUNG STREET BETWEEN THE UPPER SECTION OF SHA TIN PASS ROAD AND CHUK YUEN ESTATE AND INTRODUCE A GYRATORY ROAD SYSTEM IN FUNG WONG VILLAGE AS PART OF AN AREA-WIDE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SCHEME.
THE AIM IS TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS IN THE AREA AND MEET ANTICIPATED TRAFFIC DEMAND GENERATED BY HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS AT CHUK YUEN, MA CHAI HANG AND DIAMOND HILL.
NEW ROADS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED TO LINK SHA TIN PASS ROAD NEAR LUNG FUNG STREET WITH HOUSING ESTATES BEING BUILT AT CHUK YUEN AND TO LINK YING FUNG LANE WITH FUNG TAK ROAD.
AS PART OF THE PROJECT, THE SECTION OF KAM FUNG STREET BETWEEN SHEUNG FUNG AND NGAN FUNG STREETS WILL BE CLOSED AND DEVELOPED AS A LANDSCAPED EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING SITTING-OUT AREA.
A PEDESTRIAN SUBWAY WILL BE BUILT BENEATH SHA TIN PASS ROAD NEAR FUNG TAK ROAD.
MING FUNG STREET, FUNG TAK ROAD AND THE SECTION OF SHA TIN PASS ROAD BETWEEN LUNG FUNG STREET AND FUNG TAK ROAD WILL ALSO BE MODIFIED.
WORK IS EXPECTED TO START IN JANUARY AND BE COMPLETED IN 18 MONTHS.
