The access road leading to the Tseung Kwan O Chinese Permanent Cemetery will be temporarily closed to vehicles between 6 am and 8 pm on April 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 28 and 29, 2001, and a special bus route (no. 14S) will be providing service between the bus stop on Lei Yue Mun Road eastbound east of the St. Antonius Girl's School and Tseung Kwan O Chinese Permanent Cemetery from 7 am to 5.30 pm.

The Transport Department appeals to members of the public to make use of the public transport and to pay attention to the instructions given by Police officers in the Cemetery area.

"We anticipate that a large number of people will be visiting the Cemetery in the coming holidays and members of the public should plan their visit in less popular days to avoid pedestrian and traffic congestion," said a spokesman for the Department.

"Temporary taxi and PLB stands will be designated on the southern kerbside of Lei Yue Mun Road westbound opposite to St. Antonius Girl's School between 7.00 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. on April 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 28 and 29, 2001," added the spokesman.
