TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENTS IN HAPPY VALLEY
A series of new traffic arrangements will be introduced in Happy Valley
from 10a.m. on Friday (September 21) to improve traffic flow and to
facilitate road works in the area.
Announcing this today, the acting Commissioner for Transport,
Mr. P.F. Leeds, said the re-arrangements were necessary to accommodate the
fast increasing volume of traffic at the Canal Road flyover which had become
a major traffic route following the opening of the Cross Harbour Tunnel.
"The new arrangements will also facilitate construction works
in connection with extending the Canal Road flyover over Leighton and Harrison
Hill Roads to Queen's Road East to eventually link with the proposed Happy
Valley-Aberdeen tunnel," he added.
The new arrangements are as follows:
The section of Sports Road between the entrance to Royal Hong Kong Defence Force Headquarters and its
junction with Wongneichong Road will be re-routed
one-way eastbound.
Wongneichong Road between Village Road and Morrison
Hill Road will be re-routed one-way in a clockwise
direction.
The westbound lane of Leighton Road between Wongneichong Road and Canal Road East will be converted into a "Bus
Only Lane" and no other vehicles except franchised buses will be permitted to enter this section of Leighton Road,
