The Transport Department (TD) today (May 19) reminded the public that to facilitate the Central Kowloon Route construction works, the following temporary traffic and transport arrangements will be implemented from May 24 (Sunday).

(A) Road closures and traffic diversions

     3. Closure of u-turn facility at Lai Cheung Road to Ngo Cheung Road
 

• motorists are advised to travel via the realigned Hoi Wang Road southbound, without passing through u-turn facility at Lai Cheung Road.

(B) Bus and green minibus (GMB) diversions
--------------------------------------------------

     KMB routes No. 10, 260X, 268B, 269B, 271X and 280X, Citybus routes No. 20, A20, A22, A23, E23, E23A and N11, cross-harbour bus (XHT) routes No. 914, 914X, 914P and 936A as well as GMB routes No. 43M and 79K will be diverted accordingly. The bus stops of XHT routes No. 914 and 914X located outside Yau Ma Tei China Light and Power (CLP) Electric Substation at Ferry Street and opposite to Man Wah Building will be suspended and relocated to Jordan Road near Ferry Street and outside Man Ying Building at Ferry Street respectively. The stopping arrangements of the other above-mentioned bus and GMB routes will not be affected.

     Appropriate traffic signs and road markings will be applied on-site to guide motorists. The public transport operators will display notices to advise passengers on the arrangements.　　

     The TD anticipates that owing to the diversion arrangements, the travelling time at the road sections concerned will be slightly lengthened. Motorists should exercise tolerance and patience. Public transport commuters are advised to pay attention to the arrangements of route diversions and suspension or relocation of stops.

     Members of the public are advised to plan their journeys in advance and allow sufficient travelling time to cater for unexpected delays, and stay alert to the latest traffic news through the media or the TD's mobile application "HKeMobility" or website (www.td.gov.hk).

     Details of the temporary traffic and transport arrangements are at the Annex and available on the Central Kowloon Route website: www.ckr-hyd.hk/home/index.html.
