HK$99m awarded to build Tai O river wall

The Civil Engineering and Development Department has awarded a HK$99 million contract for the construction of a river wall at Tai O to Mannings (Asia) Consultants. The 200-metre river wall is being built to alleviate the flooding risk in the fishing village, especially during the summer rainy season. The works will also include provision of drainage and sewerage systems behind the river wall and upgrading of the temple garden in front of Kwan Tai Temple. They will take about 22 months to complete.
