Sewage extension work along South Bay Road
Following is a question by the Hon Jimmy McGregor and a written reply by the Secretary for Works, Mr James Blake, in the Legislative Council today (Wednesday):
Question:
Will the Government inform this Council when the sewage extension work which has been going on for the past two years in South Bay Road will be completed and whether this road will then be left undisturbed with no further road openings for a reasonable period of time?
Reply:
Mr President,
The sewer extension work along South Bay Road is part of the HK Island South Master Plan aimed to improve the sewerage infrastructure and water quality in the Island South region. Based on present rate of progress, the Drainage Services Department anticipates that the works will be completed around the end of September 1995.
The Highways Department has also arranged to resurface the road, starting in March this year, to dovetail in with the drainage works. After the completion of the road resurfacing works by October 1995, there will be a one year mandatory restriction on road openings, except for emergencies or other unforeseen circumstances.
End/Wednesday, May 3, 1995
