IMPROVEMENTS TO TAI PO ROAD AT SHA TIN
Plans are in hand to reconstruct a section of Tai Po Road in Sha
Tin to improve traffic conditions in connection with the development of
Sha Tin New Town.
About one mile of the road, from Tai Wai to Fo Tan, will be widened
and re-aligned and the existing level-crossing near Tai Wai will be replaced
by a bridge over the railway track.
Facilities at the junction of Tai Po Road and Lion Rock Tunnel
Road will also be improved.
The project, to be carried out in stages, is expected to start
later this year and take about two and a half years to complete.
During the reconstruction programme temporary diversions will be
provided, where necessary, to keep to a minimum any unavoidable interference
with traffic.
Alternative means of access to existing properties on either side of
the new road, other than those to be cleared for the works, will be provided.
The proposed project is published in today's gazette and anyone
who objects to the order authorising the undertaking must send his objection
to the Director of Public Works to reach his office not later than June 25, 1973.
Any claims for compensation must be received not later than July 25, 1973.
Plans of the works are available for inspection at the Central Enquiry
Sub-office on Hong Kong Island, or at the New Territories Administration
Headquarters, North Kowloon Magistracy Building, 4th floor, Tai Po Road, or at
the Tai Po District Office in Tai Po Market.
