Sunday, January 14, 1973

Under the Kowloon Foothills Road Corridor Scheme, Lung Cheung Road

will be widened to provide two lanes in each direction, and all existing

intersections will be replaced by flyovers.

Work is well under way on some of the eleven separate projects

forming the $140 million scheme.

When the highway is completed in 1975, the entire route across

the northern part of Kowloon will merge with the Kwai Chung Coastal Road.

This will complete the important traffic route linking San Po Kong

and Kwun Tong in the east, and Kwai Chung and Tsuen Wan in the west.
