Reconstruction-Kowloon and New Territories
229. On completion of the decking to the nullah along Sung Wong Toi Road, the section between Tam Kung Road and To Kwa Wan Road was constructed. Also To Kwa Wan Road, from Sung Wong Toi Road and the Ma Tau Kok Ferry Concourse, was reconstructed to a standard adequate to take bus traffic between Kowloon City and the Ferry Concourse.
230. Along Sung Wong Toi Road provision was made for a 30 foot carriageway with a 10 foot parking strip, a 6 foot footpath adjacent to the Airport and a 14 foot footpath adjacent to the built-up area, whilst along To Kwa Wan Road a 40 foot carriageway with two 10 foot footpaths was provided. The parking strip, the carriageway over the nullah and a drainage reserve strip were surfaced in bitumen macadam base and wearing courses. The remaining portion of the carriageway was constructed with 8 inch vibrated concrete slab on a hardcore base and surfaced with 1 inch thick bitumen macadam wearing course. Footpaths were surfaced with granolithic paving behind granite kerbstones. Dowel bars were used on all concrete slab joints. Traffic islands and illuminated bollards were installed at the junction formed by To Kwa Wan Road and Sung Wong Toi Road to direct traffic flow.
231. Following the decking of the nullah in Boundary Street, two sections of this street were reconstructed. The section from the Kowloon Canton Railway to Waterloo Road was made up of a 40 foot carriageway and two 10 foot footpaths with traffic islands and bollards at its junction with Embankment Road, and the section from the bridge west to the junction with "Road off Boundary Street" provided a 30 foot carriageway, two 9 foot verges and two 13 foot 6 inches wide footpaths with parking strip and bus lay-bys.
232. A length of Lai Chi Kok Road between Boundary Street and Poplar Street was reconstructed and made into a road with dual carriageways. This consisted of two 22 foot carriageways separated by a 4 foot wide central island planted with hedges, two 10 foot parking strips and two 16 foot footpaths.
