NEW SCENIC ROAD IN NEW TERRITORIES TO BE SURFACED
Work will start shortly on surfacing a new road in the New
Territories to provide a direct link between Tai Mei Tuk and Luk Keng
as well as a vehicular access to the remote villages at Wu Kau Tang.
•
Formation of the 3-mile-long road has already been completed
the section from Luk Keng to Wu Kau Tang undertaken by the Army, and
from Wu Kau Tang to Chung Mei, by the Government.
Surfacing work will invlove the construction of a 20-foot-wide
carriageway, lay-bys, turning circles and surface drainage.
Lookout points and open carparks will also be provided for
sightseeing at suitable locations along the road. Work is expected to
start in September and will take about 15 months to finish.

In conjunction with this road project, plans are in hand to
widen the Luk Keng Road from 10 feet to ensure free vehicular movement
between the new road and Sha Tau Kole Bead.
