PRINCESS MARGARET ROAD TO BE WIDENED
To Cope With Increasing Traffic
The section of Princess Margaret Road between the old Ho Man
Tin Hill Road and Sheung Hing Street is to be widened shortly to cope
with the larger volume of traffic brought about by the Cross Harbour
Tunnel.
Work is expected to begin next month and will take about a
year to complete.
It involves the construction of one additional lane to each
side of the present two-lane dual carriageways.
Footways of 12 feet wide will also be provided on both sides
of the road.
A spokesman for the Public Works Department said that Princess
Margaret Road is an important primary distributor and will fulfill this
function to an even greater extent with the Cross Harbour Tunnel already
in use.
