NEW ROAD FOR SHAU KET WAN

Tuesday, October 3, 1972

The Government is to build a new road adjoining a large building

The new road will be 600 feet long, and the carriageway will vary

in width from 24 to 32 feet. An eight-foot wide concrete footpath will be

laid on either side of the road.

Ancillary drainage work will be carried out and a section of the

Construction work for the entire project, estimated to cost about

months.
