Six departure passenger e-channels at Lok Ma Chau control point will be closed from tomorrow (March 14) for renovation work and installation of additional e-channels.
The work is expected to take about four weeks, depending on the weather.
A spokesman for the Immigration Department said the arrival e-channels, which have been closed for about a month, will reopen tomorrow. They will operate from 7am to midnight daily.
"To provide a more comfortable environment for travellers, we are going to install a roof cover and other facilities for the e-channel walkway. The six departure e-channels will be closed temporarily to ensure the safety of travellers," the spokesman said.
