TEMPORARY STEEL FLYOVER IN PRINCE EDWARD ROAD
To Ease Congestion During Work On Interchange
Work will begin on Tuesday, June 13, on the foundations for
a temporary steel flyover to be erected along Prince Edward Road
crossing over Waterloo Road.
The flyover, the first of its kind in Hong Kong, is being built
to ease traffic congestion at ground level during the construction later
this year of Hong Kong's first multi-level interchange at the junctions
of Waterloo Road with Prince Edward Road and Boundary Street.
During work on the foundations for the steel flyover, some
restriction of traffic lanes along Prince Edward Road in the vicinity
of the junction with Waterloo Road will be necessary.
Delays to traffic are expected, especially during rush hours.
Motorists are strongly advised to use alternative routes and
to avoid, whenever possible, using this section of Prince Edward Road
during this period.
The steel superstructure for the temporary flyover is presently
being fabricated in Japan and shipment of the steelwork will commence
towards the end of July.
It is planned to erect the steel superstructure of the flyover
at the end of August, over the long weekend, and details regarding
temporary road closures and traffic diversions will be announced later.
