Improvements to Castle Peak Road to commence in 2001

****************************************************

The Chief Executive in Council has authorised the works and the use of the project "Castle Peak Road Improvement between Sham Tseng and Ka Loon Tsuen, Tsuen Wan" with modifications.

Under the project, the existing Castle Peak Road between Sham Tseng and Ka Loon Tsuen in Tsuen Wan, a 3.7 km long single two-lane carriageway with substandard footpath at discrete locations, will be widened and improved to dual two-lane carriageway with standard footpath on both sides.

The improvements are necessary to cater for the anticipated increase in traffic due to planned developments along the route and in the northwest New Territories.

The works are expected to commence in 2001 for completion in 2005.
