Road closure and alteration at O'Brien Road in Wan Chai
The Government intends to implement temporary closure and permanent alterations at a section of O'Brien Road in Wan Chai from January 4 next year to facilitate improvement works at the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) Wan Chai Station.
A section of pavement in O'Brien Road between Hennessy Road and Johnston Road will be temporarily closed and permanently altered to facilitate demolition of the existing MTR entrances and construction of new station entrances and associated
structures.
Pedestrian walkway will be maintained to the adjacent shops and building entrances during the construction period.
A lane of the carriageway of another section of O'Brien Road and its junction with Thomson Road will be temporarily closed and altered to facilitate construction. Temporary traffic diversion will be implemented.
Alternative vehicular routing and suitable pedestrian facilities will be provided. Traffic signs will be set up to guide motorists.
Details of the closures and alterations are contained in a notice published in the Government Gazette today (Friday).
Any claims for compensation must be made in writing to the Director of Lands.
