The Government published a notice in the Gazette today (March 28) on the construction of a proposed footpath linking Junk Bay Chinese Permanent Cemetery with Tiu Keng Leng MTR Station, Sai Kung, which had earlier been authorised by the Executive Council under the Roads (Works, Use and Compensation) Ordinance.
The works proposed by the Board of Management of the Chinese Permanent Cemeteries include the construction of a permanent footpath linking the Junk Bay Chinese Permanent Cemetery with future footpaths of proposed roads within Tiu Keng Leng, and the construction of a temporary footpath connecting the permanent footpath with Chui Ling Road near the Tiu Keng Leng MTR Station.
The proposed footpath will be developed into a leisure walking trail with provision of rest shelters, soft landscaping and other ancillary facilities. The temporary footpath will be demolished upon completion of the future footpath of proposed roads within Tiu Keng Leng.
The construction of the new footpath is scheduled to start in the second half of 2008 for completion in the second half of 2010.
