The Transport Department (TD) today (November 9) reminds the public that special traffic and transport arrangements will be implemented in Causeway Bay this Saturday and Sunday (November 12 and 13) to facilitate the holding of public parades.
 
     The special traffic and transport arrangements mainly include:
 
November 12 (Saturday)
----------------------------
 
* The section of Yun Ping Road between Lan Fong Road and Kai Chiu Road and the section of Kai Chiu Road between Yun Ping Road and Lee Garden Road will be closed from about 7.30pm to 10pm. During the holding of the event, the Police may adjust the traffic diversion and road closure arrangements whenever necessary.
 
November 13 (Sunday)

* From about 2.30pm onwards, Great George Street, the section of Kingston Street westbound between Paterson Street and Gloucester Road and the section of Paterson Street between Kingston Street and Great George Street will be closed. During the holding of the event, the Police may adjust the traffic diversion and road closure arrangements whenever necessary.
