Revised Route 3 scheme approved
The Governor-in-Council has approved that Phase II of the Route 3 Country Park Section should be constructed according to a revised scheme.
A Government spokesman today (Thursday) said: "The revision seeks to modify the original proposal gazetted in October last year by shifting the road alignments and replacing some sections of elevated roads by carriageways at grade, at the Au Tau Interchange."
"The modifications also include reprovisioning of access roads with footpaths at the Au Tau Interchange and amendments to the boundary of the works area," he said.
Construction works for Phase II of the Route 3 Country Park Section are scheduled to commence on site starting from December.
The Route 3 Country Park Section will provide a fast link between Ting Kau and Yuen Long. Upon completion of the project in late 1998, it will relieve congestion at Tuen Mun Road and improve road links between the border and the container port. Plans showing the modified works are available for public inspection at the Public Enquiry Service Centre of the Central and Western District Office, Yuen Long District Lands Office and Yuen Long District Office.
