CONSTRUCTION OF OVERHEAD LINE

******

WORK ON A FURTHER SECTION OF THE MASS TRANSIT RAILWAY OVERHEAD LINE BETWEEN KWUN TONG AND NGAU TAU KOK STATIONS IS DUE TO BEGIN IN JULY THIS YEAR AND BE COMPLETED IN DECEMBER, 1979.

TO FACILITATE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS OVERHEAD LINE CERTAIN STREETS WILL BE PARTIALLY CLOSED FROM TIME TO TIME.

THE PRINCIPAL ROADS AFFECTED WILL BE KWUN TONG ROAD, HONG NING ROAD AND NGAU TAU KOK ROAD, WHERE RESTRICTIONS TO CARRIAGEWAYS AND FOOTPATHS WILL BE NECESSARY DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD.

IN ORDER TO REDUCE CONGESTION WHILE WORK IS TAKING PLACE MOTORISTS ARE ADVISED TO USE THE NEW ALTERNATIVE ROUTE CONNECTING WAI YIP STREET TO KWUN TONG ROAD WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BE READY BEFORE CONSTRUCTION WORK BEGINS IN KWUN TONG ROAD.

PLANS SHOWING THE AREAS AFFECTED BY THE PROJECT MAY BE INSPECTED AT THE CITY DISTRICT OFFICE (CENTRAL AND WESTERN) ENQUIRY SUB-OFFICE, CENTRAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES, WEST WING ENTRANCE, HONG KONG- AT THE CROWN LANDS AND SURVEY OFFICE, 10TH FLOOR, KOWLOON GOVERNMENT OFFICES BUILDING, 405 NATHAN ROAD, KOWLOON- AND AT THE CITY DISTRICT OFFICE (KWUN TONG), KWUN TONG DISTRICT BRANCH OFFICES BUILDING, TUNG YAN STREET, 3RD FLOOR, KOWLOON.

A NOTICE IN TODAY'S GOVERNMENT GAZETTE STIPULATES THAT ANY PERSON MAKING A CLAIM FOR COMPENSATION MUST SEND HIS CLAIM IN WRITING TO THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. THE CLAIMS MUST REACH THE OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF CLOSURE OF THE STREET OR FROM THE COMPLETION OF THE SUBSTANTIAL ALTERATION WHICH IS ALLEGED TO HAVE CAUSED PECUNIARY LOSS OR DAMAGE.
