The bus companies will display notices to advise passengers on the arrangements. Passengers are advised to pay attention to the arrangements of route diversions and suspension or relocation of bus stops.
Appropriate traffic diversion signs will be erected on-site to guide motorists. 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.
Members of the public are advised to plan their journeys in advance and allow sufficient traveling time to cater for unexpected delays, and to stay alert to the latest traffic news through the media or the TD's mobile application "HKeMobility" or website (www.td.gov.hk).
