Shenzhen River flood prevention works tenders invited
***
The Drainage Services Department is inviting tenders for the second stage, Phase I works of the Shenzhen River training scheme which is aimed at preventing flooding in north-east New Territories.
A spokesman for the department said today (Friday) that works under the second stage would comprise widening and deepening of 6.6 kilometres of the river.
"To achieve this, a section of the existing border road between Lok Ma Chau and Tam Kon Chau and its security facilities are required to be relocated in advance," he said.
Works will involve construction of a 3.6 kilometre new border road, security fence and ancillary drainage works.
Construction will start in November for completion in September 1998.
Measures will also be implemented to minimise impact on the environment.
Details of the tender are contained in the Government Gazette published today.
The spokesman said since works of the first stage of the Shenzhen River Regulation project commenced in May last year, much progress had been made and over 60 per cent of Stage I works had so far been completed.
"Preparation for the Stage II of the project has been carried out in full co- operation with the Shenzhen Municipal Government," he added.
Tender form and further particulars may be obtained from the Chief Engineer, Land Drainage Division, Drainage Services Department, Kowloon Government Offices, 11th floor, 405 Nathan Road, Kowloon.
