Building of access roads to developments on Ma Wan
The Governor-in-Council has authorised the construction of roads to provide access to developments on Ma Wan Island.
The main feature of the project is the construction of two six-metre wide elevated slip roads with one lane in each direction from the Lantau Link (formerly known as Lantau Fixed Crossing) to Ma Wan.
On Ma Wan Island, there will be two-way single carriageway roads of about 6.75 metres in width; and footpaths varying from 1.6 metres to two metres in width on one or both sides.
Emergency vehicular access roads within the proposed village development and the proposed theme park will also be built. At the same time, other ancillary earthworks, drainage and landscaping works will be carried out.
The project will support the proposed developments shown on the Ma Wan Outline Zoning Plan and provide a road network for traffic circulation, emergency access and pedestrian movements on Ma Wan Island. In addition, it will facilitate restricted vehicular access from Lantau Link to Ma Wan.
The project will involve resumption of some private land on Ma Wan Island. Affected land owners and persons will be compensated in accordance with provisions under the Roads (Works, Use and Compensation) Ordinance.
It is expected that works on the project will commence in the middle of next year and takes about four years to complete.
