The reclamation project includes the construction of the outer

seawall of the western arm. Provision will be made for its widening at

a later date to provide sites for industries.

A 100-foot wide motorway will be built on the reclamation to

replace a section of Castle Peak Road adjacent to the reclamation site.

The new dual carriageway road will provide improved vehicular access to

the New Town.

A primary distributor road will also be formed across the bay

to provide a southern access to the industrial area west of the San Hui

River channel and to facilitate the laying of a trunk sewer.
