Road Widening and Retrofitting Noise Barriers on Tai Po Road (Sha Tin Section)

The road widening works and provision of noise barriers / noise semi-enclosures require removal of some of the existing trees due to limited space available. We will transplant some of the affected trees, and plant new whips and shrubs at various locations.

There are three old and valuable trees (OVTs) near Sha Tin Rural Committee Road, namely LCSD ST-5 (Bischofia polycarpa), LCSD ST-6 (Bischofia polycarpa) and LCSD ST-17 (Ficus annulata) within the Project boundary. These three OVTs will be preserved and protected during construction.
