NEW SERVICE RESERVOIR AT TONG HANG
*****
A SERVICE RESERVOIR IS TO BE BUILT AT TONG HANG IN THE NEW TERRITORIES TO HELP MEET INCREASING DEMAND AT FANLING AND SHEUNG SHUT.
THE RESERVOIR WAS DESIGNED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE EXTENSION WORKS AT TAI PO TAU TREATMENT WORKS AND WILL STORE UP TO FOUR MILLION GALLONS OF TREATED WATER FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE SUPPLY ZONES AT FANLING AND SHEUNG SHUI.
TENDERS FOR THE PROJECT ARE INVITED IN THE GAZETTE TODAY. WORK IS EXPECTED TO START IN JANUARY NEXT YEAR AND WILL TAKE ABOUT 22 MONTHS TO COMPLETE,
THE ACCESS ROAD TO THE SERVICE RESERVOIR WILL BE CONSTRUCTED FROM TA! PO ROAD, PASSING THROUGH TONG HANG VILLAGE SO AS TO PROVIDE BETTER ACCESS FOR THE VILLAGES.
BOUNDARY STREET TRAFFIC CHANGE
******
MOTORISTS TRAVELLING ALONG BOUNDARY STREET WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO TURN RIGHT INTO WATERLOO ROAD AS FROM 10 AM NEXT TUESDAY. A TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN EXPLAINED THAT THE RESTRICTION WAS TO FACILITATE CONSTRUCTION WORK ON THE WATERLOO ROAD FLYOVER.
AS AN ALTERNATIVE, EARL STREET WILL BE RE-ROUTED ONE-WAY FOR SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC, AND MOTORISTS WISHING TO TURN RIGHT WILL BE DIVERTED VIA EARL STREET AND WESTWARDS ON PRINCE EDWARD ROAD TO RE-ENTER WATERLOO ROAD AT ITS JUNCTION WITH PRINCE EDWARD ROAD.
TRAFFIC SIGNS WILL BE POSTED TO GUIDE MOTORISTS.
