The Government published a notice in the Gazette today (January 29) on road works at the Bathing Beach in Lung Mei, Tai Po. It is to provide safe vehicle access in and out of the public car park at the proposed beach. The project has been authorised by the Chief Executive in Council.
The works include the widening of a section of Ting Kok Road to a single two-way three-lane carriageway and reprovision of a section of an existing footpath on the southern side of the widened Ting Kok Road; construction of a fee-paying public car park with a signalised junction at egress/ingress and relocation of a bus stop on the southern side of the widened Ting Kok Road; permanent closure and demolition or temporary closure and reconstruction of sections of the existing carriageway and footpath; and ancillary works such as construction of safety islands, dropped kerbs, retaining walls and seawalls.
The project is expected to start in 2011 for completion by 2013.
