Special traffic and transport arrangements for Hong Kong Rugby Sevens

Special traffic and transport arrangements will be in effect in the vicinity of Hong Kong Stadium during the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens Tournament this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the Transport Department said.

Special road closure, traffic diversion and passenger alighting and pick-up arrangements will apply both during tournament hours and for a certain time after the tournament ends each day.

Tournament hours are 3pm to 9.15pm on March 28; 8am to 6.50pm on March 29; and 7.30 am to 6pm on March 30.

A Transport Department spokesman advised the public to be aware of free shuttle service, additional bus service, and bus and green minibus diversion arrangements. People should allow themselves more time than usual to complete their journeys and avoid the area around Hong Kong Stadium if possible.

Details of traffic and transport arrangements can be found on the homepage of the Transport Department. (http://www.info.gov.hk/td/eng/notice/specialtravel/specialtravel_index.html).
