Temporary traffic arrangement at Kai Tak Tunnel westbound this Sunday
***************************************************************

     The Transport Department (TD) today (August 4) reminded members of the public that to facilitate urgent road repair work at the westbound exit of the Kai Tak Tunnel, the slow lane of the westbound tube of the Kai Tak Tunnel and part of the slow lane of road sections connecting the westbound tube of the tunnel will be temporarily closed to all vehicular traffic from 8am to 5pm this Sunday (August 6).

     Due to the lane closure, the TD anticipates that the traffic along the Kai Tak Tunnel westbound will be relatively busy during the above period. Motorists passing through the road section concerned should exercise tolerance and patience and drive with utmost care. Appropriate traffic signs will be erected on-site to guide motorists.

     Motorists are advised to consider using alternative routes such as the Kwun Tong Bypass or Kwun Tong Road to Kowloon central. They are also advised to plan their journeys in advance and allow more travelling time to avoid unexpected delay.

     The TD and the Police will closely monitor the traffic situation and implement appropriate measures whenever necessary. Motorists and the public are advised to stay alert to the latest traffic news on radio and television.

     Details of the temporary traffic arrangement are now available on the TD's website (www.td.gov.hk).
