The Transport Department (TD) today (November 21) reminded the public that temporary road closures and traffic diversions for all vehicular traffic will be implemented on sections of Lung Wo Road, Man Yiu Street, Man Kwong Street, Yiu Sing Street, Man Po Street and Man Cheung Street of the Central Waterfront from Thursday (November 23) to next Friday (December 1) to facilitate the preparation work for a car racing event in Central. 

     Traffic in the Central district is expected to be more congested than usual. The TD advises motorists to avoid driving to the above areas unless necessary. In case of traffic congestion, motorists should exercise tolerance and patience, and follow the road signs. Members of the public are advised to plan their journey in advance, use public transport services as far as possible and allow ample time for travelling. 

     Details of the temporary traffic and transport arrangements are now available on the department's website (www.td.gov.hk). Relevant traffic and transport arrangements on the event dates and road restoration works afterwards will be announced later.
