THE ACTING CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE P.W.D. HIGHWAYS DIVISION (HONG KONG) MR. CHEN SHAO-CHI TODAY SAID THAT, ALONG WITH THE PROPOSED ABERDEEN TUNNEL, THE NEW WORKS WOULD GIVE MOTORISTS TRAVELLING TO-AND-FROM THE SOUTHERN REGION OF HONG KONG ISLAND A VASTLY IMPROVED ROAD COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM.
+THE STUBBS ROAD-QUEEN'S ROAD EAST JUNCTION WILL BE IMPROVED BY WIDENING THE APPROACH SECTIONS TO GIVE GREATER QUEUING SPACE FOR WAITING VEHICLES AND REDUCE CONFLICT TO MOTORISTS USING THIS BUSY INTERSECTION, HE SAID.
+ON THE LOWER SECTION OF STUBBS ROAD JUST TO THE WEST OF THE EXISTING MINI ROUND-ABOUT AT TAI HANG ROAD-WONG NAI CHUNG GAP ROAD-STUBBS ROAD JUNCTION, TWO SHARP BENDS WILL BE WIDENED AND IMPROVED IN CURVATURE TO PERMIT SMOOTHER AND SAFER TRAFFIC FLOW TOWARDS AND AWAY FROM THE JUNCTION,
+ANOTHER TWO BENDS SITUATED ON THE UPPER SECTION OF STUBBS ROAD WILL ALSO BE IMPROVED. IN WIDTH AND ALIGNMENT TO BENEFIT VEHICLES TRAVELLING BETWEEN THE PEAK AND THE TAI HANG ROAD ROUND ABOUT,+
+TAI HANG ROAD AT ITS JUNCTION WITH BLUE POOL ROAD WILL ALSO BE WIDE TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE QUEUING SPACE FOR CROSSING TRAFFIC AND A SLIP ROAD FOR TRAFFIC TURNING LEFT INTO BLUE POOL ROAD.+
TO SUPPLEMENT THE IMPROVEMENT WORKS TO STUBBS ROAD, MR. CHEN SAID ARRANGEMENTS WERE BEING MADE TO SIGNAL ISE THE JUNCTION OF TAI HANG ROAD-BLUE POOL ROAD AND THE ROUNDABOUT AT THE JUNCTION OF TAI HANG ROAD, WONG NAI CHUNG GAP ROAD AND STUBBS ROAD.
