Is it still here after the tragic coach accident?

The Milestone 12 was still there recently, but the site is subject to road widening fairly soon

Hope I will be in time for a visit.

Someone found 9_1/2 at the roundabout where the road widening site is.

9.5 is still here, wrapped in protective bubble wrappings as of 3/2021.

Passed by the spot where I last saw it, but it's nowhere to be found today.

maybe discuss with Highway Dept staff. I can't find itDo you have precise location?

It used to be somewhere near where the workers stood in this street view photo. I took the picture I posted yesterday from the footbridge.

I don't think it is possible to talk w/ the authorities. I tried once (with another MS at Tai Po), they refered to Lands Dept, Urban renewal Dept. etc... anyways it came back to Lands Dept. with "unconfirmed, IDK" answers. :P

 

By the way, when I went there in December 2021, I didn't see it (and MS 10) But I assume it is still here. Proof in the link.
