The Transport Department (TD) today (September 20) said that, due to an emergency incident, special traffic and transport arrangements will be implemented in the vicinity of Pan Hoi Street, Quarry Bay. Members of the public are urged to stay alert to the latest traffic news before travelling, plan ahead their journeys and reserve sufficient travelling time. They should review travelling needs according to the situation and avoid unnecessary travel to affected areas.

Road closures

     The following road sections remain closed to all traffic. Motorists are advised to take heed of temporary traffic signs, use alternative routes and follow the instructions of the Police on site:
 

• All lanes of Pan Hoi Street between King's Road and Westlands Road;
• All lanes of King's Road (Chai Wan bound) between Man Hong Street and Westlands Road; and
• All lanes of King's Road (Causeway Bay bound) between Yau Man Street and Finnie Street.

     The TD anticipates that the traffic in the vicinities of Sai Wan Ho, Tai Koo Shing and North Point will be busier. Motorists are advised to avoid driving to affected areas.

Public transport arrangements

     In view of the full closure of both bounds of a section of King's Road in Quarry Bay, a total of 21 franchised bus daytime routes will be affected, which will be diverted mostly to Island Eastern Corridor:
 

• Cross-harbour route Nos. 102, 106, 116, 606, 606A, 608, 613 and 682 (both bounds);
• ⁠Citybus route Nos. 2, 2A, 8H, 18X, 33X, 77, 81, 82, 85, 99, 722 and A12 (both bounds); and
• Citybus route No. 82X (Chai Wan bound).

     Franchised bus operators will gradually display notices at the bus stops to inform passengers. Passengers should take note of the arrangements of diversion and cancellation of bus stops, and may refer to the website or mobile application of bus operators for the latest service details of individual routes.

     Regarding the tramways, services between Shau Kei Wan and Kennedy Town, Sheung Wan and Happy Valley (both bounds) will be suspended, while the remaining routes will provide normal or temporary services.

     The MTR Island Line and Tseung Kwan O Line trains will remain normal service. MTR will closely monitor passenger demand and enhance service of the Island Line if necessary. Entrances/exits A and B of Quarry Bay Station will be temporarily closed.

     The TD has been steering and coordinating operators to gear up for response and service arrangements, with a view to minimising the impact to the daily commute of passengers. Members of the public should stay alert to the latest traffic news through radio and TV broadcasts, the TD's website (www.td.gov.hk) and the HKeMobility mobile application before their journeys.
