PART OF HO MAN TIN HILL ROAD TO BE CLOSED

South End To Be Extended To Wylie Road

The Public Works Department is proposing to close to vehicular

traffic the part of Ho Man Tin Hill Road between No. 19 Ho Man Tin Hill

Road and Princess Margaret Road.

This section of Ho Man Tin Hill Road is at present steep and

barely adequate for two lanes of traffic.

Moreover its junction with the high capacity Princess Margaret Road

constitutes a serious traffic hazard, especially when the Cross Harbour Tunnel

is completed and traffic on Princess Margaret Road increases substantially.

In order to provide a much more satisfactory road access for the

developments in the Ho Man Tin Hill Road area, works are in hand for extending

the southern end of Ho Man Tin Hill Road and bridging over the existing

tracks of the Kowloon-Canton Railway to form a new junction with Wylie Road.

Works are scheduled to complete next month, by which time it is

proposed to effect the permanent closure to vehicular traffic of that section

of Ho Man Tin Hill Road.

An announcement has been made in the Government Gazette giving notice

of an order to be made under the Streets (Alteration) Ordinance for this

proposal.

The closing date for objection will be July 9, 1972 and any claims

for compensation should be made by August 9, 1972.
