Improvements to roads and drains on Cheung Chau
The Territory Development Department has proposed works to improve existing roads and drains in Cheung Chau.
Works will involve widening the existing Tung Wan Road and Cheung Chau Hospital Road, the laying of a comprehensive network of sewerage and stormwater drains, the provision of open space, and the construction of a new road between St John Hospital and the helipad on reclaimed land at Cheung Chau.
On completion, the project will improve water quality in Cheung Chau Typhoon Shelter and Tung Wan Beach and alleviate flooding in certain low-lying
area.
In addition, the project will also make available an east-west road link on Cheung Chau for access of standard-size emergency vehicles. This will facilitate the delivery of fire and ambulance services in terms of response time.
The Government has exercised care at the planning stage to minimise the extent of land resumption and clearance for the project. Land owners affected will be compensated for land resumption and eligible residents will be rehoused.
Works will commence at the end of this year and scheduled for completion in two years.
