Removal of Illegally Parked Vehicles

Motorists are advised that strict enforcements will be taken by the Police, including multiple ticketing and towing of vehicles found illegally parked within the precinct of the special traffic arrangements specified above, without prior notice.

Attention and Appeal

Due to extensive road closure in Eastern District, Causeway Bay, Wan Chai and Central District, and the diversion of bus routes and general traffic away from Causeway Road, Yee Wo Street, Hennessy Road, Queensway westbound, and Des Voeux Road Central between Queensway and Pedder Street, we expect that other major roads in the vicinity, such as Canal Road flyover, Victoria Park Road, Gloucester Road, Harcourt Road, Connaught Road Central, Cross Harbour Tunnel and Aberdeen

16 Tunnel will become very congested.

Appropriate traffic aids will be erected on site to guide motorists. Public transport operators will display notices to advise passengers of the above special traffic arrangements. Motorists should exercise tolerance and patience in case of traffic congestion and take heed of instruction of the Police; and watch out for the latest traffic news via media.

Depending on the prevailing circumstances, other ad-hoc traffic and public transport measures, including further closures of roads, traffic diversions, alterations and suspension of public transport services may be introduced by the Police at anytime depending on traffic and crowd conditions in the areas.

Members of the public are advised to use public transport services and avoid driving to the affected or congested areas, especially Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, Admiralty and Central unless necessary. They are advised to plan their routes early, use alternative routes and allow more travelling time to cater for unexpected delay. Bus and other public transport commuters are advised to pay attention to the arrangements of route diversions and suspension or relocation of stops.

For enquiries on special traffic and transport arrangements, members of the public can call 1823 or browse through Transport Department website www.td.gov.hk for more details.
