******************************************************************************************
     The Transport Department (TD) today (December 15) reminded members of the public that to facilitate road improvement work near West Kowloon Station of the Hong Kong Section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link, the stage 2 opening of the underpass at the junction of Austin Road West and Lin Cheung Road will be implemented starting from 5.30am this Sunday (December 17). A section of the underpass connecting Austin Road West and Lin Cheung Road (north of Jordan Road), and the eastern loop road of Austin Road West near MTR Austin Station, will open for the public use.

     After the opening of the new road sections, motorists from the West Kowloon Highway southbound and Lin Cheung Road southbound can use the Lin Cheung Road underpass to travel to Tsim Sha Tsui without passing through Jordan Road.

     Motorists from Hung Hom or Tsim Sha Tsui heading for Hong Kong (West), Kwai Chung or Lantau Island can use the underpass via the entrance at Austin Road West westbound near MTR Austin Station and go direct to Lin Cheung Road northbound (north of Jordan Road). Motorists from Canton Road northbound heading for Hung Hom can make use of Austin Road West westbound, the eastern loop road of Austin Road West and Austin Road West eastbound.

     Motorists are advised to pay attention to the traffic signs to be erected on-site and drive with utmost care when driving through the road sections.

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