TRAFFIC RE-ARRANGEMENTS IN KOWLOON TONG

New traffic arrangements will be introduced in the Waterloo

Road area on Wednesday (September 26) to improve traffic flow in the

vicinity during the construction of a new flyover.

Under the changes, which will come into effect at 10 a.m. on

that day, right turning movement at the junction of Prince Edward Road

and Waterloo Road will not be allowed.

Southbound traffic on Waterloo Road which presently turns right

into Prince Edward Road westbound will turn left at Boundary Street, right

into la Salle Road and right onto Prince Edward Road at the newly installed

traffic lights and make use of the Prince Edward Road temporary flyover.

Alternatively it may turn right into Essex Crescent, and proceed

by way of Cumberland Road, turning right into Boundary Street.

Also affected will be traffic which at present travels along Prince

Edward Road westbound and turns right into Waterloo Road northbound.

Under the new arrangements, this traffic will take a new route -

first by turning right at Embankment Road, then using Duke Street, Knight

Street and Boundary Street before rejoining Waterloo Road northbound at the

Boundary Street junction.

Kowloon Motor Bus Route No. 30 (Tez Wan Shan Jordan Road Ferry)

which presently turns right from Waterloo Road into Prince Edward Road

will be re-routed so as to operate by way of Waterloo Road and Argyle Street.
