In general, southbound traffic only will continue to use Nathan Road

and the displaced northbound traffic will therefore have to use alternative

streets, Ferry Street/Tong Mi Road on the west and Princess Margaret Road on

the east.

Southbound traffic may also use Shanghai Street between Lai Chi Kok

Road and Waterloo Hoad. Certain streets will of necessity have traffic restrict-

ions imposed but every effort will be made to minimise public inconvenience.

The new Prince Edward Road/Lai Chi Kok Road Flyover forming an east-

west cross-route will be brought into use before the diversions come into effect.

At a later date the Gascoigne Road/Tong Mi Road Flyover will provide

a further east-west cross-route.

Plans showing the areas affected by this section of the Mass Transit

Railway may be inspected at the City District Office, Central and Western

Enquiries Office, Central Government Offices, West Wing, Hong Kong, and at

the Crown Lands and Survey Office, 10th flcer, Kowloon Government Offices

Building, 405 Nathan Road, Kowloon.

The plans are also on display at the City District Office, Kowloon

City, 379 Prince Edward Road; the City District Office, Mong Kok, 751 Nathan

Road; the City District Office, Sham Shui Po, 299-303 Lai Chi Kok Road; and

the City District Office, Yau Ma Tei, 260-264 Temple Street, Kowloon.

Today's Government Gazette stipulates that any person making a

claim for compensation must send his claim in writing to the Director of

Public Works.

The claims must reach the Office of the Director before the expiration

of one year from the date of closure of the street or from the completion of

the substantial alteration which is alleged to have caused pecuniary loss or

damage.
