CHA KWO LING SEA WALL

Land For New Coastal Road

*****

Approximately 240 feet of sea wall is to be built to complete the

Cha Kwo Ling sea wall and reclamation scheme.

Temporary surface drains will also be constructed to drain the

low-lying area of Cha Kwo Ling village.

Reclamation included in this project will provide land for a new

coastal road linking Cha Kwo Ling and Sham Ka Tsuen, and will reduce the

area of stagnant water in the vicinity of the village.

The work has been designed, and will be supervised, by the Port

Works Division of the Civil Engineering Office, Public Works Department.

Construction will begin by the end of this year.
