******************************************************************************************
     The Transport Department (TD) today (July 20) reminded the public that special traffic and transport arrangements will be implemented in phases on Hong Kong Island to facilitate the public processions tomorrow (July 21).
 
     The special traffic and transport arrangements will mainly include:
 
Road closures
----------------

1. From about 10.30am, Hennessy Road westbound, Queensway and Rodney Street will be intermittently closed;

2. From about 11.30am, King's Road westbound, Yee Wo Street westbound, Hennessy Road westbound, Queensway westbound, Queen's Road Central and Queen’s Road West will be intermittently closed; 

3. From about 2pm, the roads in the vicinity of Victoria Park and the Causeway Bay shopping area (such as Sugar Street and Jardine's Bazaar) will be closed in phases; and

4. From about 2.30pm, the westbound carriageways of Causeway Road, Yee Wo Street and Hennessy Road will be closed.

Public transport services
-------------------------
 
     A total of 92 bus routes and 14 green minibus routes operating in the affected areas will be temporarily diverted, one bus and one green minibus route will be temporarily suspended. In addition, the tram services between Tong Shui Road and Tamar Street will be suspended.
 
     Due to extensive road closure in the affected areas, the TD anticipates that the traffic along Hong Kong Island North (including Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, Admiralty and the vicinity of the Island Eastern Corridor) as well as the Aberdeen Tunnel and the Cross-Harbour Tunnel will become significantly congested. Motorists are advised to be patient in case of traffic congestion when driving in the vicinity, follow the Police's instructions and be alert to the latest traffic news through the media.
 
     Members of the public are advised to use public transport services, in particular railway services, and avoid driving to the affected or congested areas, especially in the vicinity of Tin Hau, Causeway Bay, Wan Chai and Admiralty, unless necessary. Early planning of journeys and use of alternative travelling routes are advised to avoid unexpected delay. The public transport operators will display notices to inform passengers of the temporary arrangements. Public transport commuters are advised to pay attention to the arrangements of route diversions and suspension and relocation of stops. The TD and the Police will closely monitor the traffic situation and implement appropriate measures whenever necessary. 
 
     For enquiries on the special traffic and transport arrangements, members of the public can call 1823 or browse the TD's website (www.td.gov.hk) for more details.
