AMENDMENTS TO NT CIRCULAR ROAD SECTION PROPOSED
*****
A SECTION OF THE NEW TERRITORIES CIRCULAR ROAD NEAR FUNG KAT HEUNG WILL BE AMENDED TO ACCOMMODATE FUTURE CONNECTIONS TO THE PLANNED AU TAU BYPASS IN YUEN LONG.
A GAZETTE NOTICE OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS, WHICH WERE AIMED AT CATERING FOR THE CIRCULAR ROAD TRAFFIC IN THE LONG- TERM, WAS PUBLISHED TODAY (FRIDAY).
THE NEW TERRITORIES CIRCULAR ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT COMPRISES A 12-KILOMETRE TRUNK ROAD FROM AU TAU TO FAN KAM ROAD THROUGH MAI PO, SAN TIN AND KWU TUNG.
IT WOULD INITIALLY BE A DUAL TWO-LANE CARRIAGEWAY WITH SERVICE ROADS. ADDITIONAL LANES WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED AT A LATER DATE TO WIDEN THE CARRIAGEWAY TO DUAL THREE-LANE.
HOWEVER, AN ENGINEERING STUDY HAS RECOMMENDED THAT A
MODA SECTION OF THE ROUTE NEAR FUNG KAT HEUNG BE AMENDED TO ACCOMMODATE FUTURE CONNECTIONS TO THE PLANNED AU TAU BYPASS, WHICH WILL LINK THE CIRCULAR ROAD WITH THE FUTURE YUEN LONG SOUTHERN BYPASS AND THE TUEN MUN-YUEN LONG EASTERN CORRIDOR TRUNK ROAD SYSTEM.
IT ALSO PROPOSED THAT THE SECTION OF THE CIRCULAR ROAD SOUTH OF FUNG KAT HEUNG BE REDUCED TO A DUAL TWO-LANE DISTRIBUTOR ROAD, AND THE PROPOSED SERVICE ROADS DELETED ALONG THIS SECTION.
TODAY'S NOTICE COVERS PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE AUTHORISED PLANS AND SCHEME FOR THE SECTION FROM AU TAU TO FAIRVIEW PARK.
WRITTEN OBJECTIONS TO THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS SHOULD BE SENT TO THE SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT BY MAY 8.
