The underpass section and the loop roads of Lin Cheung Road between Jordan Road and Austin Road West will open for public use.

     After the opening of the new road sections, motorists who are near MTR Kowloon Station or the West Kowloon Cultural District can make use of the Austin Road West underpass and Lin Cheung Road underpass as an alternative route to and from Hong Kong (West), Kwai Chung or Lantau Island.

     Motorists should also note that the junction between the Austin Road West underpass and the Lin Cheung Road underpass will be converted to a signal-controlled junction.

     They are advised to pay attention to the traffic signs to be erected on-site and drive with utmost care when driving through the road sections.
