Heard various unconfirmed accounts of whe built the Fei  Ngo Shan Road one being that it was the Japanese with POW labour ?

Is there a  PWD or similar reference ?

If you follow how that area looks on maps across the years, it could help narrow down when the road was built. There is a good range of maps at http://www.hkmaps.hk/mapviewer.html
