Road works in Siu Lam proposed
The Government has proposed carrying out road works in Siu Lam, Tuen Mun to cater for future traffic load brought about by a proposed private residential development which has been approved by the Government in principle.
The developer of the residential development is required to construct at his own cost a new road and to widen an existing road and footpaths.
During the road works construction period, the existing road and footpaths will be kept in service until the proposed road works are completed to the satisfaction of the Government. The existing local access leading to Siu Lam Village will then be closed and the traffic will be diverted to the new road.
An improved local footpath will be handed back to the Government upon its completion, while the developer will continue to maintain the new road.
A notice on the proposed road works was gazetted today (Friday).
A plan showing the proposed works can be inspected at:
Central and Western District Office,
Public Enquiry Services Centre,
ground floor, Harbour Building,
