The completion of the Lantau Fixed Crossing and the southern section of Route 3 in 1997 and the completion of the Country Park Section of Route 3 in 1998-99 will result in a greater demand of traffic between Tuen Mun Road and Route 5.
In order to release the overloading of the local road network in Tsuen Wan, it is essential that this section of Route 5 between Shek Wai Kok and Chai Wan Kok be completed by 2003.
A notice concerning the proposed works on the last section of Route 5 was gazetted today (Friday).
The Plans showing the extent of the proposed works together with a scheme description can be seen at the following government offices:
the Central and Western District Office, Public Enquiry Service Centre, ground floor, Harbour Building, 38 Pier Road, Central, Hong Kong.
the Tsuen Wan District Office, first and second floors, Tsuen Wan Station Multistorey Carpark Building, 174-208 Castle Peak Road, Tsuen Wan, New Territories; and
the Tsuen Wan District Lands Office, 10th floor, Tsuen Wan Station Multistorey Carpark Building, 174-208 Castle Peak Road, Tsuen Wan, New Territories.
Any person who wishes to object to the works or the use, or both, is required to address his objection in writing to the Secretary for Transport on or before June 27 this
year.
