NEW ROAD PROPOSED FOR HUNG HOM

***

THE GOVERNMENT IS PLANNING TO CONSTRUCT A NEW ROAD BETWEEN PO LO STREET AND GILLIES AVENUE ALONG THE HUNG HOM SEAFRONT.

WHEN COMPLETED IN 1986, THE ROAD IN FRONT OF HUNG HOM BAY CENTRE WILL SERVE TRAFFIC GENERATED FROM THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WHAMPOA DOCKYARD AREA. THE EASTERN END OF THE ROAD WILL LATER BE EXTENDED TO LINK WITH A PROPOSED HIGHWAY LEADING TO TO KWA WAN.

A COVERED FOOTBRIDGE, WHICH WILL LINK UP WITH THE HUNG HOM FERRY PIER AND ITS TRANSPORT TERMINUS THROUGH AN EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING COVERED WALKWAY, WILL ALSO BE BUILT ACROSS THE NEW ROAD AT WHAMPOA STREET.

THE FOOTBRIDGE AND WALKWAY WILL PROVIDE A SAFE GRADE-SEPARATED CROSSING AND A CONTINUOUS ALL-WEATHER PROTECTED ROUTE FOR BUS AND FERRY USERS.

MINOR ROAD MODIFICATION AND ASSOCIATED DRAINAGE WORKS, AND LANDSCAPING WILL ALSO BE CARRIED OUT.

A NOTICE CONCERNING THE PROPOSAL IS PUBLISHED IN THE GOVERNMENT GAZETTE TODAY (FRIDAY).
