Land subsiding maintenance to be carried out on Cotai Strip

Land subsiding maintenance to be carried out on Cotai Strip

In order to repair effects of natural land subsiding and ensure traffic safety, the Infrastructure Development Office (GDI) will carry out road maintenance in multiple areas on the Cotai Strip starting this week.

Works are going to be conducted in phases in Avenida Marginal Flor de Lotus near Rotunda da Harmonia, Rua da Patinagem near Rua da Flor de Lotus, Avenida do Aeroporto and also Rua do Tiro.

During the maintenance periods, temporary traffic controls will be imposed in surrounding areas.

According to a GDI statement released yesterday, natural settling of land took place during the sand consolidation process on the reclaimed Cotai Strip.

However, following the rapid development of the area in recent years, GDI said traffic had grown busy there and thus effects of land subsiding were most notable on roads where the repairs are to be implemented.

Works will start this week for an estimated period of 40 to 115 days. They are mainly to fill and level up road surface, repair road side kerbs as well as pavements.

Drivers are reminded to be aware of the special traffic controls during the maintenance periods.
