M.T.R. TRAFFIC RE-ROUTINGS IN SHAM SHUI PO

A number of streets in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon will be re-routed and

bus routes altered from 10 a.m. on Wednesday, January 7.

A spokesman for the Transport Department said that this was the

first of a series of changes in Kowloon resulting from the construction of the

Mass Transit Railway.

The re-routing of traffic' and bus services will be implemented in

stages which will spread over a three-month period,

The streets affected by the re-routing are:- Hai Tan Street (between

Yen Chow Street and Boundary Street) which will be re-routed one-way westbound;

Pei Ho Street (between Hai Tan Street and Yee Kuk Street) which will be made

one-way southbound; Yee Kuk Street (between Nam Cheong Street and Boundary

Street) which will be re-routed one-way eastbound, and, Boundary Street

(between Nam Cheong Street and Tai Kok Tsui Road) which will become one-way

westbound.

At the same time, there will be no right turns from Tai Kok Tsui Road

into Tung Chau Street.

When these changes are implemented, Tung Chau Street and Hai Tan Street

will form a quick relief route for traffic proceeding to Lai Chi Kok and Tsuen

Wan.

The public light bus stands in Hai Tan Street will be re-located to

the opposite side of the road as a result of the reversal of traffic in the

street.

Franchised buses serving this area will also be affected. KMB Route

Nos. 12, 30, 36B and 50 will be re-routed to operate via Tong Mi Road, Tung

Chau Street, Tai Kok Tsui Road, Boundary Street, Hai Tan Street and Yen Chau

Street instead of via Tong Mi Road, Lai Chi Kok Road and Yen Chow Street.
