LION ROCK INTERCHANGE TRAFFIC CHANGES

New traffic arrangements will be introduced at the Lion Rock

Interchange as from tomorrow (Tuesday).

A single lane over the completed flyover will be opened for

traffic travelling south to Waterloo Road. Traffic wishing to turn right

into Lung Cheung Road will be diverted via Cornwall Street.

Waterloo Road will also be re-opened to northbound tunnel traffic.

Westbound traffic on Lung Cheung Road will have access to the tunnel by

turning left into a loop road and thence via Waterloo Road.

As only one lane will be brought into use initially, heavy vehicles

are advised to continue using the present route to the tunnel via Junction

Road, Fung Mo Street, and Lung Cheung Road to avoid possible congestion.

At a later stage, the southern carriageway of Lung Cheung Road

from Fung Mo Street, will also be opened for traffic, a spokesman for the

Transport Departuent said.

Motorists are urged to observe the direction signs at the approaches

to the interchange particularly tomorrow morning while these changes are

being intorduced.
