NEW TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENTS IN KOWLOON AND N.T.
Effective From Monday
The Transport Department today announced traffic diversions at
Tai Po Road, temporary closure of two street sections in Mong Kok, and
new traffic arrangement at three streets in the New Territories, all to
be effective as from 10 a.m. on Monday (December 18).
To facilitate the construction of Tai Woh Ping Interchange,
eastbound traffic along the section of Tai Po Road between Lung Cheung
Road and Ching Cheung Road will be reduced to a single lane for about
15 months.
Tai Po Road eastbound traffic to Lung Cheung Road, instead of
turning left into the slip road, will turn right to make use of the Tai
Woh Ping flyover, Traffic signals to this effect will be erected but
southbound traffic along Tai Po Road will not be affected.
In Mong Kok, Nelson Street between Reclamation Street and
Shanghai Street, and Shantung Street between Portland Street and Shanghai
Street, will be temporarily closed to through-traffic for about two months
to enable road works to be carried out.
Nelson Street between Portland Street and Shanghai Street, and
Shangtung Street between Reclamation Street and Shanghai Street, which were
closed for road works in October, will be re-opened to through-traffic on
the same day (Monday).
