WORK TO BEGIN ON BUND IN TAI O
Protection For Low-Lying Land
Work will begin shortly on the construction of a second bund
to protect an area of low-lying agricultural land in Tai 0.
It will be constructed behind the salt pans near the existing
Tai O seawall.
The old seawall was constructed by local villagers many years
ago and is in such a poor state that constant repair is required and
there is a risk of it being breached in a typhoon.
When the new bund is completed, the old seawall will no longer
be maintained.
The new bund will be approximately 2,000 feet long and about
seven feet wide on top, It will be built up to the same level as the
new Tai O Road.
Construction is expected to begin in early June this year and
should take about 12 months to complete.
The works have been designed and construction will be supervised by the Port Works Division of the Civil Engineering Office, Public Works
Department.
