CHE KUNG FESTIVAL TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENTS
Heavy traffic congestion is expected on roads leading to Che Kung
Temple in Shatin this Friday Che Kung Festival Day - and on Saturday
(January 26), a Transport Department spokesman said today.
Motorists are therefore advised to avoid using Lion Rock Tunnel
Road and that section of Tai Po Road approaching Shatin, and the access
path to Che Kung Temple on both days.
Special arrangements will be introduced for those who require
to go there.
Additional buses will be provided on KMB route numbers 704 and 71
which run between Jordan Road Ferry and Sha Tin, and a temporary stand for
southbound public light buses will be set up on the reclaimed land on Sha
Tin bypass near the path to Sha Tin Market.
For those who use private transport, very limited parking will be
available at four locations on the reclaimed land on the west side of
—
Shatin bypass road; on the lorry track which runs parallel with Lion Rock
Tunnel Road; in the car park behind Shatin Market; and in Lik Yuen Road up
to the High Island Water Scheme site office.
No pavement or roadside parking will be allowed and vehicles found
illegally parked will be towed away.
Traffic police will be on hand to guide motorists.
