233. The reconstruction scheme for Castle Peak Road between the 6 and 94 milestones, described in last year's report, was continued.
234. The present scheme allows for a 58-foot wide roadway consisting of two footpaths, a verge and a 22-foot wide carriageway. Eventually it will be widened to permit a further carriageway and verge. The total width will then be 100 feet. It is intended that the New Territories main ring road should eventually be to this standard.
235. The verge is to accommodate cables, services, and in particular the 48 inch diameter water main from the Tai Lam Chung Reservoir. Road work and pipe laying had to be dovetailed together.
236. A large resettlement area was formed at Tai Wo Hau, Tsun Wan, to permit the removal of numerous squatters from the new road line.
237. Work was continued on the new bridge in Tsun Wan. This is a reinforced concrete continuous beam and slab bridge with two 51-foot spans to carry two 22-foot carriageways, two footpaths and a central verge with provision for cables and pipes under the footpaths.
238. The reconstruction of the weak bridge at Ho Chung on the Sai Kung Road was commenced in the Winter. Fair progress was maintained up to the end of this year. The new reinforced concrete bridge consists of three 30 feet spans on a 26° skew and has an overall width of 27 feet including a 20-foot carriageway and a 6-foot footpath. In forming the new bridge approaches, opportunity was taken to obtain the fill from road side cuttings in a section of Sai Kung Road between Clearwater Bay Road and Ho Chung, thus widening this section of road from the existing narrow width of approximately 10 feet to 20 feet.
