Special traffic and transport arrangements in Kwun Tong tomorrow
****************************************************************
The arrangements mainly include:
* Phase 1: From 10am to 11.30am, the section of Ngau Tau Kok Road eastbound between Kwun Tong Road and Kai Cheung Road flyover, the first and second lanes of Kwun Tong Road eastbound between Choi Wan Road and Ngau Tau Kok Road, the first lane of Kwun Tong Road eastbound near Kai Cheung Road flyover, and Choi Wan Road southbound will be temporarily closed.
* Phase 2: From 10.30am to noon, the first and second lanes of Kwun Tong Road westbound between Cha Kwo Ling Road and Hoi Yuen Road, and the southern part of Kwun Tong Road roundabout leading to Hoi Yuen Road and Kwun Tong Road westbound (including the passageway inside the roundabout) will be temporarily closed.
Due to the above road closures, a total of 40 bus routes and six green minibus (GMB) routes operating in the affected areas will be temporarily diverted during the road closure periods. The public transport operators concerned will post up notices to inform passengers of the temporary arrangements. Moreover, the bus and GMB stops in the affected areas will be suspended until the ceremony ends and the roads are reopened.
Motorists should avoid driving to the affected areas. They are advised to plan their routes early, use alternative routes and allow more travelling time to cater for unexpected delays. In case of traffic congestion, motorists should exercise tolerance and patience, and follow the instructions of the Police. Members of the public planning to go to the affected areas are advised to make use of public transport services as far as possible. They should also pay attention to the route diversions and suspension/relocation of stops.
Depending on the prevailing circumstances, other ad-hoc traffic and public transport measures, including further road closures, traffic diversions, alterations and suspensions of public transport services may be implemented by the TD and the Police at short notice. Motorists and the public are advised to be alert to the latest traffic news on radio and television.
Details of the special traffic and transport arrangements are now available on the TD's website (www.td.gov.hk).
