NEW TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENTS IN KOWLOON
An extensive traffic diversion scheme will be introduced in the
Hong Kok and Sham Shui Po areas on Wednesday (March 13) to facilitate the
construction of an elevated road from Prince Edward Road to Lai Chi Kok
Road.
The scheme will involve a number of traffic re-routings or prohibitions
on vehicle movement.
It is being implemented because the eastbound carriageway of Frince Edward Road, between Lai Chi Kok Road and Yuen Ngai Street will be temporarily
closed to all vehicular traffic.
Under the scheme, Prince Edward Road and Boundary Street will serve as a complementary system with the section of Prince Edward Road between Fa Yuen Street and Lai Chi Kok Road re-routed one-way westbound and the section of Boundary Street between Portland Street and Sai Yeung Choi Street re-routed
one-way eastbound.
Eastbound traffic from the Sham Shui Po area, precently using Prince
Xiward Road, will be diverted to Boundary Street via Lai Chi Kok Road.
Westbound traffic coming from the Kowloon City area presently using
Boundary Street will be diverted to Prince Edward Road via Fa Yuon Street. Kotorists will no longer be able to make a right turn from lathan
Road eastwards into Prince Edward Road. The alternative routing for this
traffic will be via Boundary Street by way of a "G-turn" through Playing Field
Road and Portland Street.
