The Transport Department (TD) today (February 22) reminded the public that to facilitate construction work for the Central-Wan Chai Bypass, the following temporary traffic arrangements will be implemented at the section of the Island Eastern Corridor (IEC) eastbound near North Point from this Sunday (February 25) at the times specified below:
 
From 1am to 6am on February 25
-----------------------------------------
 
     The section of the first and second left lanes of the IEC eastbound between Harbour Heights and Provident Centre will be temporarily closed to all vehicular traffic.
 
From 3am to 6am on February 25
--------------------------------------
 
     The section of the second right lane of the IEC eastbound between Oil Street and Provident Centre will be temporarily closed to all vehicular traffic.
 
From 6am on February 25 until further notice
---------------------------------------------------
 
     The section of the first and second left lanes of the IEC eastbound between City Garden and Provident Centre will be merged into one traffic lane.
 
     Appropriate traffic signs will be erected on-site to guide motorists. The TD anticipates that the traffic in the vicinity of the IEC near North Point will be busy. Motorists should exercise tolerance and patience in case of traffic congestion and consider using alternative routes. Members of the public are advised to plan their journey in advance and allow more travelling time to cater for unexpected delay, and stay alert to the latest traffic news through the media.
