TRAFFIC DIVERSIONS IN HO MAN TIN
*****
An extensive traffic diversion scheme will come into operation on
Saturday morning (March 23) in conjunction with work on the new flyover
being built in Argyle Street to cross the Princess Margaret Road flyover.
Work on the project has now reached the stage where piles have
to be sunk close to the Princess Margaret Road flyover, and to enable
this to be carried out, the present traffic pattern has to be altered for
a period of about two months.
From 10 a.m. on Saturday, vehicles travelling south on Waterloo
+
Road will no longer be able to continue straight through at ground level
into Princess Margaret Road,
Traffic wishing access to the Ho Man Tin area should use the
existing Princess Margaret Road flyover into Princess Margaret Road, turn
left into Sheung Hing Street, left into Fat Kwong Street and left
into Sheung Shing Street.
Through-traffic wishing to continue down Waterloo Road or turn
right from Waterloo Road into Argyle Street will only be able to operate
on one lane instead of the normal two.
Traffic from the Mong Kok direction will not be able to turn
right into Princess Margaret Road. Motorists wishing to go to schools
in the Ho Man Tin area should follow the newly placed direction signs
to Waterloo Road, Pui Ching Road, Fat Kwong Street and Sheung Shing Street.
