The carriageway on the North side of the Tramway track between Sai Wan Ho Market and a point where the Tramway track takes a sharp turn to Shaukiwan Village East (about 430 yards to the Eastward of Sai Wan Ho Market) was widened to its proper alignment, kerbed, channelled and surfaced with macadam treated with asphaltum.
