The Government has proposed in-situ reinstatement of the typhoon-stricken Shek O Blue Bridge at the Shek O Headland Picnic Area. The extent of the area of foreshore and sea-bed affected is described in a notice published in the Government Gazette today (March 13).
The proposed works involve in-situ reinstatement of the Shek O Blue Bridge within an area of approximately 183 square metres of foreshore and sea-bed. The works aim to restore the bridge to its original appearance as far as technically feasible and to resume access to the Shek O Headland Picnic Area. The proposed works are scheduled to commence in the second half of this year for completion in 2021.
The notice and its related plan are posted near the site. The plan is also available for inspection at:
