PLAN TO IMPROVE CLEAR WATER BAY ROAD TRAFFIC

****

NEW TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENTS TO EASE CONGESTION ALONG CLEAR WATER BAY ROAD WILL BE INTRODUCED FROM 10 AM ON THURSDAY (FEBRUARY 10).

A SHORT SECTION OF LUNG CHEUNG ROAD SOUTHBOUND AT ITS JUNCTION WITH CLEAR WATER BAY ROAD WILL BE PERMANENTLY CLOSED TO TRAFFIC, A TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN EXPLAINED.

THE MOVE IS TO REDUCE CONFLICTING TRAFFIC MOVEMENTS AT THIS JUNCTION SO AS TO GIVE A BETTER FLOW ON CLEAR WATER BAY ROAD WESTBOUND.

FOLLOWING THE CLOSURE, 13 BUS ROUTES ON JOURNEYS TO KWUN TONG ROAD SOUTHBOUND WILL HAVE TO BE DIVERTED.

BUS ROUTES 15A, 38, 80, 89 AND 889 WILL USE CHOI HUNG FLYOVER. A NEW BUS STOP WILL BE PROVIDED ON LUNG CHEUNG ROAD OPPOSITE KAM HON HOUSE, CHOI HUNG ESTATE.

NOS. 3D, 5B, 6D, 9, 13A AND 111 WILL BE DIVERTED VIA CHOI HUNG ROAD ROUNDABOUT, CHOI HUNG BUS TERMINUS SLIP ROAD AND PRINCE EDWARD ROAD EAST. THESE BUSES WILL CALL AT THE NEW STOP OUTSIDE PIK HOI HOUSE, CHOI HUNG ESTATE.

THE BAN ON RIGHT TURNS FROM LUNG CHEUNG ROAD SOUTHBOUND TO HAMMER HILL ROAD WESTBOUND IS TO BE LIFTED FOR FRANCHISED BUSES. NOS. 11C AND 74A TRAVELLING ALONG LUNG CHEUNG ROAD WILL THEN REACH PRINCE EDWARD ROAD EAST VIA HAMMER HILL ROAD AND CHOI HUNG BUS TERMINUS SLIP ROAD.

OTHER TRAFFIC ON LUNG CHEUNG ROAD SHOULD ALL USE THE CHOI HUNG FLYOVER TO REACH KWUN TONG ROAD, THE SPOKESMAN SAID.

MOTORISTS HEADING FOR PING SHEK ESTATE ARE ADVISED TO TRAVEL VIA CLEAR WATER BAY ROAD, NEW CLEAR WATER BAY ROAD, CHOI WAN ESTATE ACCESS ROAD, RE-JOIN CLEAR WATER BAY ROAD, KWUN TONG ROAD AND PING SHEK ESTATE ACCESS ROAD.
