Before and after the Chung Yeung Festival, adjustments to the extent of road closures, traffic control measures and public transport diversions will be made by the Police depending on the actual traffic conditions in the areas.
Grave sweepers are advised to plan their journeys early and allow more travelling time. Those visiting Cape Collinson in Chai Wan outside the above road closure periods should use public transport services as far as possible. They may take GMB route Nos. 16A, 16M, 16X or 18M at MTR Chai Wan Station to Cape Collinson Road, or CTB route No. 9 at Shau Kei Wan Bus Terminus to Shek O Road near Cape Collinson Road. Grave sweepers heading to the Cape Collinson-San Ha Columbarium may make use of the escalators and pedestrian access route connecting San Ha Street in Chai Wan (near Exit A, MTR Chai Wan Station) and the Columbarium.
The TD anticipates that traffic in the vicinity of Cape Collinson Road, Lin Shing Road and Wan Tsui Road in Chai Wan will be busier before and after the Chung Yeung Festival. Motorists are advised not to drive to the congested and affected areas, and should exercise tolerance and patience in case of traffic congestion and observe the instructions given by the Police.
Members of the public should heed the latest traffic news and public transport information on radio, television, the TD's website (www.td.gov.hk) or mobile app HKeMobility.
