Proposed road works in Tung Chung
The Territory Development Department has proposed infrastructure works in Tung Chung to serve the proposed residential and community facilities development in areas 13, 22, 25, 39, 40 and 41.
The proposed works are part of the North Lantau Phase IIB Development Project in Tung Chung and include the construction of roads, a vehicular turning head, footpaths, a cycle track, a cycle park, an amenity area, drainage system and other ancillary works.
A section of Tung Chung Road and footpaths will be closed. During the construction, appropriate traffic and pedestrian access will be maintained to minimise inconvenience to the public.
Works will begin in May for completion in 26 months.
