feet ending at the West side of the nullah, and the third 850 feet long through a very heavy cutting to join the existing road at Shek Kip Mei Resettlement Area. Section one was finished before the end of the year and section two was approximately 30% completed.
270. The plan provides a 60 foot total width made up of a 22 foot carriageway of 6 inch vibrated concrete on 3 inch hardcore with 1 inch wearing course of bitumen macadam, two 9 foot verges, and two 10 foot footpaths of 23 granolithic concrete with granite kerbs, passing and parking bays are provided at intervals.
271. As a continuation of this work a trained nullah between Tai Hang Tung and Tai Hang Sai was decked for some 1,000 feet and a 40 foot road formed, partly on the nullah deck. The nullah walls were incapable of taking the decking load and piles were driven at intervals through the walls. The carriageway was made 22 feet wide and two 9 foot footpaths were provided.
Miscellaneous
272. To alleviate the shortage of parking space in the City a temporary car park of 16,860 square yards, providing accommodation for 443 cars on the central reclamation, was surfaced with 1 inch thickness of bitumen macadam on a foundation of consolidated building debris. The road around three sides of the parking area acts also as the approach road to the New Queen's Pier.
273. Causeway Bay reclamation was re-opened for free dumping to form and level the 55 acre Victoria Park. Selected building debris was brought to the areas earmarked for football pitches, paths and roads, while soft materials were directed to areas to be turfed and to the artificial hill situated at the north west corner of the park.
274. Roads and paths were formed with 4 inch thickness of 1 inch waterbound macadam, 1 inch wearing course of bitumen macadam and concrete margins. Football pitches etc. were laid
