CHAI WAN RECLAMATION

Work is now in progress on a 1,700-foot retaining seawall for

the Chai Wan reclamation where the site of the proposed Mass Transport

Depot will be located.

Part of the reclamation will initially be used as a works area

for the construction of the immersed-tube units for the underground

railway system.

Construction of the seawall is expected to be completed within

12 months at a cost of about $5.3 million.

The Marine Department has issued a notice to mariners warning

all vessels to keep away from Lo Shue Point in Chai Wan, where the

reclamation work is taking place.
