SEAWALL FOUNDATION FOR CENTRAL RECLAMATION

Construction Work To Start Soon

**

Work will start shortly on the construction of a seawall foundation

for Central Reclamation Stage V situated to the west of the Macau Ferry

Wharf.

It forms part of a reclamation project which will provide a

site for a sewage screening plant, an area for the widening of Connaught

Road West and Connaught Road Central and land for building development

and open space.

In addition, about 60,000 square feet of the new reclamation

will be allocated as a temporary cargo handling area.

Work on the construction of the seawall foundation is expected

to commence in June, 1972 and will take about two years to complete.
