TRAFFIC FROM SHA TIN CENTRAL USING THIS JUNCTION WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO EXIT NORTHWARDS TO TAI PO.
THE JUNCTION ON TAI PO ROAD BY THE POLICE STATION, WHICH RUNS BETWEEN LEK YUEN AND WO CHE ESTATES, WILL BE CHANGED TO PERMIT LEFT TURN ONLY ONTO TAI PO ROAD FOR KOWLOON-BOUND TRAFFIC.
A SLIP ROAD FROM TAI PO ROAD ONTO THE FO TAN PRIMARY ROAD WILL ALSO BE OPENED. THIS WILL PROVIDE NEW DIRECT ACCESS TO FO TAN FOR NORTH-BOUND TRAFFIC. AN EXIT FOR KOWLOON-BOUND TRAFFIC FROM FO TAN AND SHA TIN CENTRAL ONTO TAI PO ROAD WILL COME INTO USE AT THE SAME TIME.
