NEW ROADS TO BE BUILT ON CHEUNG CHAU
*****
A 300-METRE-LONG ROAD IS TO BE BUILT ON A PROPOSED CHEUNG CHAU RECLAMATION.
THE 10-METRE WIDE ROAD, RUNNING FROM TAI SHEK HAU TO SHUI HANG, TOGETHER WITH OTHER PROPOSED DISTRIBUTOR ROADS, WILL SERVE FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS ON THE RECLAIMED LAND.
ALSO INCLUDED ARE CONSTRUCTION OF A PUBLIC LOADING AND UNLOADING AREA, AMENITY AREAS, AND TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIAN AIDS.
SOME EXISTING ROADS IN THE AREA WILL BE WIDENED AND SOME WILL BE CLOSED PERMANENTLY TO FACILITATE THE RECLAMATION WORK WHICH IS TO BE CARRIED OUT AROUND THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR.
IT WILL PROVIDE THREE HECTARES OF LAND FOR A PRIMARY SCHOOL, A BUILDING MATERIALS DEPOT, A PUMPING STATION AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES.
DETAILS OF THE PROPOSAL ARE PUBLISHED IN THE LATEST GOVERNMENT
GAZETTE.
OBJECTIONS SHOULD REACH THE SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT BY MARCH 29.
