TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS TO BE IMPLEMENTED
The Transport Department will be introducing a series of new traffic
arrangement on Hong Kong Island and in Kowloon to improve traffic circulation.
With effect from 10a.m. tomorrow (August 27) the left hand turn from
Lower Pokfulam Road into Bonham Road will be prohibited, and motorists wishing
to enter Bonham Road are advised to use Western Street.
Beginning on Wednesday (August 30) at 10 a.m., the un-named road
between Cheung Sha Wan Road and Lai Chi Kok Road adjacent to house No. 888
Cheung Sha Wan Road will be re-routed one-way northbound.
Two flyovers will be opened at the junction of Cotton Tree Drive, Kennedy
Road and Upper Albert Road on the Island, and this has led to a series of traffic
arrangements which will come into force from 10 a.a. next Friday (September 1).
The flyover connecting Kennedy Road and Upper Albert Road will be
opened to two-way traffic. The flyover connecting Cotton Tree Drive and Upper
Albert Road will be open to one-way uphill traffic.
The slip road adjacent to the Helena May Institute will be open to
one-way downhill traffic. The existing entrance to the Kennedy Road carpark
at Garden Road will be converted to an exit, and the existing exit in Kennedy
Road will become the entrance.
At the same time, traffic on Bowen Road between Magazine Gap Road and
Borrett Road will be re-routed from two-way traffic to one-way eastbound,
Appropriate traffic signs will be placed at the various locations to
guide motorists.
