​The Lands Department today (January 29) posted land resumption notices in accordance with section 14 of the Roads (Works, Use and Compensation) Ordinance (Chapter 370) for the implementation of the widening of Yuen Long Highway (section between Lam Tei and Tong Yan San Tsuen).
      
     Twenty-one private lots with a total area of about 5 600 square metres will be resumed by the Government. The said land will revert to the Government upon the expiry of a period of three months from the date of affixing the notices (i.e. April 30).
      
     The Government will maintain close liaison with the relevant land owners and affected parties and properly handle their compensation and rehousing matters.
      
     The aforementioned road works aim to increase the carrying capacity of a section of Yuen Long Highway between Lam Tei Quarry and Tong Yan San Tsuen Interchange to cater for the traffic need arising from the future developments in the Northwest New Territories.
