Temporary traffic arrangement at Eastern Harbour Crossing this Sunday

*********************************************************************

     The Transport Department (TD) today (March 28) reminded the public that to facilitate road repair work, part of the offside lane of the road section leading from the Hong Kong exit of the Eastern Harbour Crossing (EHC) to Chai Wan will be temporarily closed to all vehicular traffic from 9am to 9pm this Sunday (April 1). Motorists can still use the remaining traffic lane to Chai Wan.

     During the implementation of the above temporary traffic arrangement, the speed limit of the EHC (Hong Kong bound) will be temporarily reduced from 70 kilometres per hour to 50 kilometres per hour.

     Due to the lane closure, the TD anticipates that the traffic in the vicinity of the EHC (Hong Kong bound) will be relatively busy during the above period. Motorists passing through the affected road section should exercise patience and drive with utmost care, and plan their journeys in advance to allow more travelling time to avoid unexpected delay. Appropriate traffic signs will be erected on-site to guide motorists.

     The TD and the Police will closely monitor the traffic situation and implement appropriate measures whenever necessary. Members of 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).
