PART OF LAI CHI KOK ROAD TO BE CLOSED

A section of Lai Chi Kok Road in Mong Kok, Kowloon, will be closed

to through traffic as from Tuesday (December 4).

With effect from 8 a.m. on that day, no vehicles will be allowed

to enter the section of Lai Chi Kok Road between Poplar Street and Prince

Edward Road, where work will begin on the construction of an elevated road.

A spokesman for the Transport Department said that special traffic

re-arrangements and clearway systems would be introduced in the area during

the construction period to maintain traffic flow.

Westbound traffic will be routed via Prince Edward Road and Tong Mi Road

to Lai Chi Kok Road, and eastbound traffic via Tong Mi Road and Prince

Edward Road to Lai Chi Kok Road.

Vehicles wishing to gain access to premises on both sides of the

closed section of Lai Chi Kok Road will have to use Cedar Street and

An urban clearway will be introduced daily between 7.30 a.m. and

7 p.m. in Tong Hi Road between Lai Chi Kok Road and Prince Edward Road,

and in Prince Edward Road between Tong Mi Road and Nathan Road to improve

traffic circulation.

No motor vehicles, except franchised buses, will be allowed to

wait on the clearway.

The existing westbound bus stop in Lai Chi Kok Road for KB routes 2

and 24 will be resited to Tong Mi Road, and the eastbound bus stop for

routes 4A, 12, 30, 36B and 50 will be resited to Prince Edward Road.
