missioned for 8 additional projects and the expenditure on works undertaken by them was about $58 million.
9.33 Five firms of consultants (2 from overseas and 3 local) are currently engaged on over 30 projects. The road connections to the cross harbour tunnel were completed ready for its opening and work on a number of component contracts forming part of the Kowloon Foothills Road improvement scheme were started. Feasibility Studies of 3 major routes in the urban areas were carried out; these were the West Kowloon Corridor, the Airport Tunnel road and its western approaches, and the Aberdeen Tunnel and its approaches.
9.34 In the New Territories, the design of a new road between Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun (Castle Peak), 9 miles long, was started. Work continued on Tsing Yi Bridge across Rambler Channel. This is being built by a private consortium and will be handed over to Government on completion. Consulting engineers undertook the construction of approach roads to the bridge on behalf of Government. Progress has been satisfactory.
9.35 As a result of the heavy rainstorms in May and June, the safety of a number of squatter and licensed areas gave cause for concern, and consultants were appointed to investigate and report on such areas.
