CAR PARK FOR PICNIC SPOT IN N.T.
An open car and coach park is to be built shortly at the 181⁄2
milestone, Castle Peak Road, New Territories.
It will accommodate 138 private cars and 14 coaches and will also
provide spaces for motorcycles.
A bus-bay has been incorporated into the parking layout.
A spokesman for the Public Works Department said that the beach
at the 181⁄2 milestone, Castle Peak Road and nearby beaches were becoming more and more popular each year.
"The provision of a car park at this location," he said, "will not
only improve parking facilities in the area but also alleviate traffic
congestion along this section of Castle Peak Road during weekends and holidays
in the summer months."
Construction of the car park is expected to begin in March and will
take about six months to complete.
