THE DEPARTMENT WILL MONITOR CLOSELY THE SITUATION WHILE THE IMPROVEMENT MEASURES ARE UNDERWAY.
ON THE IEC, THE WESTBOUND CARRIAGEWAY WEST OF OIL STREET WILL BE MODIFIED TO PROVIDE TWO LANES FOR THE CENTRAL-BOUND TRAFFIC WHICH WILL CONTINUE ONTO VICTORIA PARK ROAD.
SIMILARLY, VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE VICTORIA PARK ROAD WESTBOUND CARRIAGEWAY WILL BE WIDENED TO ALLOW THE CONTINUATION OF THE TWO-LANE CENTRAL-BOUND TRAFFIC AND A SMOOTH FLOW OF TRAFFIC TOWARDS THE CROSS
HARBOUR TUNNEL.
THE TRAFFIC ON VICTORIA PARK ROAD, WEST OF THE SLIP ROAD TO GLOUCESTER ROAD, AT PRESENT BOUND FOR HAPPY VALLEY AND WAN CHAI, WILL BE DIVERTED INTO THE SLIP ROAD AND ONTO GLOUCESTER ROAD SERVICE ROAD IN FRONT OF THE EXCELSIOR HOTEL AND THE WORLD TRADE CENTRE.
TO CATER FOR THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC, THE SLIP ROAD WILL ВК WIDENED FROM ONE LANE TO TWO LANES AND GLOUCESTER ROAD SERVICE ROAD WILL BE WIDENED FROM TWO LANES TO THREE LANES.
ADDITIONALLY, THE BUS LAYBY ON VICTORIA PARK ROAD WEST OF THE PETROL FILLING STATIONS WILL BE CANCELLED AND RELOCATED ON GLOUCESTER ROAD SERVICE ROAD WEST OF CANNON STREET. THIS RELOCATION WILL AFFECT 18 BUS ROUTES, REPRESENTING A TOTAL OF ABOUT 120 BUSES IN THE PEAK HOUR.
WHEN THE NEW BUS STOP IS COMPLETED, THE TWO EXISTING BUS STOPS ON GLOUCESTER ROAD: ONE NEXT TO THE PETROL FILLING STATIONS, AND THE OTHER ON THE SERVICE ROAD WEST OF PATERSON STREET WILL BE CANCELLED.
THE AFFECTED BUS ROUTES WILL BE DIVERTED INTO GLOUCESTER ROAD SERVICE ROAD VIA THE SLIP ROAD EAST OF THE PETROL FILLING STATIONS.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT FEATURE IS THE PROVISION OF A BUS GATE NEAR PERCIVAL STREET TO FACILITATE EASY EXIT OF BUSES TO GLOUCESTER ROAD.
MOREOVER, THE JUNCTIONS OF HING FAT STREET/GORDON ROAD/WING HING STREET AND HING FAT STREET/TSING FUNG STREET/VICTORIA PARK ROAD WILL ALSO BE IMPROVED TO PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE BETWEEN IEC AND CAUSEWAY ROAD/HAPPY VALLEY.
TO FACILITATE THE NEW TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SCHEME, SOME EXISTING ROAD MARKINGS AND TRAFFIC SIGNS WILL BE ALTERED AND NEW ONES ADDED WHILE CLOSURE OF LANES WILL ALSO BE REQUIRED.
