The Transport Department (TD) today (January 30) reminded the public that to facilitate tram track renewal work in Central district, a section of the slow lane of Pedder Street near Des Voeux Road Central will be temporarily closed to all vehicular traffic from about 2pm this Saturday (February 3) to 6am on February 5 (Monday) or until the above work is completed.
 
     Appropriate traffic signs and road markings will be erected on-site to guide motorists.
 
     The TD anticipates that the traffic in the vicinity of Pedder Street and Des Voeux Road Central will be relatively congested. Motorists should exercise tolerance and patience in case of traffic congestion. Members of the public are advised to plan their journey in advance and allow sufficient time to cater for unexpected delay, and stay alert to the latest traffic news through the media.
 
     Details of the temporary traffic arrangements are now available on the department's website (www.td.gov.hk).
