TO BE BUILT SOON

* * *

A FLYOVER IS TO BE BUILT SHORTLY AT THE JUNCTION OF WONG NAI CHUNG GAP ROAD AND STUBBS ROAD TO IMPROVE THE TRAFFIC FLOW IN THE AREA.

MR. CHOI YU-LEUK, ACTING CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE CONSULTANTS MANAGEMENT DIVISION OF THE P.W.D.'S HIGHWAYS OFFICE, SAID TODAY THAT WORK WOULD BEGIN IN JULY AND TAKE ABOUT 20 MONTHS TO COMPLETE.

HE SAID THAT THE FLYOVER WOULD PROVIDE A DIRECT LINK BETWEEN WONG NAI CHUNG GAP ROAD AND THE LOWER SECTION OF STUBBS ROAD.

+IT WILL ACCOMMODATE TWO TRAFFIC LANES TO ENABLE ALL NORTH- BOUND AS WELL AS SOUTH-BOUND TRAFFIC TO BYPASS THE ROAD JUNCTION THEREBY RELIEVING THE PRESENT CONGESTION, MR. CHOI SAID. +GROUND LEVEL ROADS WILL ALSO BE WIDENED.+

HOWEVER, HE POINTED CUT, THESE WORKS AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FLYOVER ITSELF WOULD BE PLANNED AND PROGRAMMED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT DISTURBANCE TO TRAFFIC THROUGH THE ROAD JUNCTION WOULD BE KEPT TO THE MINIMUM DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD.
