DRAINAGE REPAIR WORK IN DES VOEUX ROAD CENTRAL

Temporary Traffic Arrangements To Be Introduced

Temporary traffic arrangements will be introduced next week to

allow urgent drainage repair work to be carried out in the southern carriageway

of Des Voeux Road Central between Li Yuen Street West and Pottinger Street.

One traffic lane will be closed for about one month.

To facilitate work, starting from 8 a.m. on Monday (March 19), northbound

vehicles from Pottinger Street will not be allowed to turn right into Dea Voeux

Road Central.

Heavy traffic congestion is expected and motorists are advised to keep away from this area if their journeys are not essential or to use alternative

routes.

In North Point, with effect from 10 a.m. on Tuesday (March 20), public

light buses will not be permitted to pick up or set down passengers at Shu

Kuk Street between King's Road and the North Point Passenger Ferry Concourse.

This restriction is necessary to improve traffic flow in the North

Point area.

In the New Territories, a section of Castle Peak Road in Hung Shui

Kiu will be restricted to a driving speed of 30 miles per hour with effect

from Tuesday (March 20).

Appropriate traffic signs will be put up to guide motorists.
