ACCESS ROAD AND BUS TERMINUS FOR OCEANARIUM

WORK WILL BEGIN SHORTLY ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ACCESS ROAD AND BUS TERMINUS FOR THE PROPOSED OCEANARIUM AT BRICK HILL, ABERDEEN.
THE ROAD, MEASURING ABOUT 2,000 FEET IN LENGTH, WILL RUN FROM THE JUNCTION OF NAM FUNG ROAD AND WONG CHUK HANG ROAD TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE OF THE OCEANARIUM. THE WIDTH OF THE CARRIAGEWAY VARIES FROM 24 FEET TO 46 FEET WITH TWO 12-FOOT WIDE FOOTPATHS ON BOTH SIDES.
A BUS TERMINUS WILL BE BUILT AT THE END OF THE NEW ROAD. IT WILL PROVIDE FIVE BAYS FOR PUBLIC LIGHT BUSES AND SIX BAYS FOR FRANCHISED BUSES.
A PEDESTRIAN SUBWAY LEADING FROM THE BUS TERMINUS TO THE OCEAN PARK COMPLEX WILL ALSO BE BUILT.
THE WORK, EXPECTED TO START NEXT MONTH, WILL TAKE ABOUT 10 MONTHS TO COMPLETE, WITH A VIEW TO MEETING THE OPENING OF THE OCEANAR JUN..
