The Transport Department (TD) today (March 28) reminded members of the public that to allow urgent road repair works, the following temporary traffic arrangements will be implemented at the East Kowloon Way eastbound on Friday (March 30) and Saturday (March 31):

(i) the slow lane of the section of the East Kowloon Way eastbound between Shan Si Street and Lok Shan Road will be temporarily closed to all vehicular traffic from 7.30am to 3.30pm this Friday; and

(ii) the slow lane of the section of the East Kowloon Way eastbound between Chi Kiang Street and Ma Hang Chung Road will be temporarily closed to all vehicular traffic from 7.30am to 3.30pm this Saturday.

     Due to the lane closure, the TD anticipates that the traffic along Chatham Road North eastbound and the East Kowloon Way eastbound will be relatively busy during the above period. Motorists passing through the road section concerned should exercise tolerance and patience and drive with utmost care. Appropriate traffic signs will be erected on-site to guide motorists.

     Motorists are advised to consider using alternative routes to Kowloon central and Kowloon east. They are also advised to plan their journeys in advance and allow more travelling time to avoid unexpected delays.

     The TD and the Police will closely monitor the traffic situation and implement appropriate measures whenever necessary. Members of the public are advised to stay alert to the latest traffic news on radio and television.

     Details of the temporary traffic arrangements are now available on the TD's website (www.td.gov.hk).
