Roadworks planned for west Kowloon
The Territory Development Department is planning the construction of a network of roads in west Kowloon.
The roadworks, which form part of the West Kowloon Reclamation project, will link Sham Shui Po and Tai Kok Tsui with West Kowloon Expressway, Airport Railway Tai Kok Tsui Station and future developments on the new reclamation area.
The works include construction of roads to provide access to the proposed local developments, which will include education, government and industrial usages; reconstruction of sections of Tung Chau Street, Tai Kok Tsui Road, Pok Man Street and Hoi King Street, and construction of a subway at the junction of Oak Street and Cherry Street.
Other works involve construction of footpaths and planting areas within the roadside verges, and drainage and other ancillary works.
During the construction period, appropriate traffic and pedestrian accesses will be maintained so that any inconvenience to the public will be minimised. A notice of the proposed roadworks was gazetted today (Friday).
The plan and the scheme of the works can be seen at the following offices:
* The Public Enquiry Service Centre of the Central and
Western District Office, ground floor, Harbour Building, Pier Road, Central, Hong Kong;
