As the highly anticipated Hong Kong Marathon 2024 approaches, the local authorities have issued a comprehensive plan for traffic arrangements to ensure the smooth running of the event on Sunday, January 21st. To facilitate the marathon, major road closures and diversions will be implemented across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon West, and New Territories South.
The road closures and diversions will be carried out in phases throughout the duration of the marathon. The first phase will commence at 1:30 am and is expected to last until approximately 10:30 am. During this period, a section of the eastbound Island Eastern Corridor, from Victoria Park Road to Tung Hei Road slip road, will be closed to general traffic. In addition, slip roads from Hing Fat Street, Man Hong Street, and Taikoo Wan Road leading to the eastbound corridor will also be inaccessible. The eastbound Central-Wan Chai Bypass Tunnel is scheduled to reopen at around 1:30 pm.
Simultaneously, the second phase will begin and continue until approximately 11:30 am. This phase will involve the closure of the westbound Island Eastern Corridor, from Tung Hei Road to Victoria Park Road. Several slip roads leading to this corridor, including those from Nam On Street and Tai Hong Street, will also be shut down. The westbound Central-Wan Chai Bypass Tunnel will be closed during this time as well.
To mitigate the anticipated traffic disruptions, the police have established diversion routes. Traffic heading towards the eastbound Island Eastern Corridor and Eastern Harbour Crossing will be redirected through Gordon Road, Electric Road, and Java Road. Other diversions include rerouting traffic along Java Road and Man Hong Street via King's Road, as well as diverting vehicles from the Eastern Harbour Crossing through Tai On Street and Shau Kei Wan Road, among other alternative routes.
Residents and visitors are strongly advised to plan their travel accordingly and expect delays. Public transportation is expected to be busier than usual, with additional services deployed to accommodate the increased demand. These traffic arrangements have been put in place to facilitate the marathon while minimizing inconvenience to the general public and ensuring the safety of all participants and spectators.
香港馬拉松活動導致周日交通大道封閉
隨著期待已久的香港馬拉松2024即將到來，當地政府已經制定了一項全面的交通安排計劃，以確保本周日，即1月21日的活動順利進行。為了配合馬拉松活動，將在香港島、西九龍和南新界實施重大道路封閉和改道措施。
道路封閉和改道將分階段進行，貫穿整個馬拉松活動。第一階段將於凌晨1時30分開始，預計將持續到上午約10時30分。在此期間，東行的東區走廊將從維多利亞公園路封閉至東區滘口。同樣地，從興發街、萬康街和太古灣道通往東行走廊的匝道也將被關閉。此外，東區灣仔繞道東行將於下午1時30分左右重新開放。
與第一階段同時開始的第二階段將持續到上午約11時30分。在此期間，西行的東區走廊將從東區滘口封閉至維多利亞公園路。包括南安街和大康街在內的多個匝道通往該走廊的道路也將被關閉。此時，西行的灣仔繞道也將關閉。
為了應對預計的交通干擾，警方已經制定了多個改道路線。前往東行東區走廊和東區海底隧道的交通將經由觀頌道、電氣道和渣華道重新指引。其他改道包括將交通從渣華道和萬康街經由英皇道重新引導，以及將從東區海底隧道來的車輛通過大安街和筲箕灣道等其他替代路線。
強烈建議居民和遊客合理安排行程，預計可能會有延誤。公共交通預計將比平時更加繁忙，將增加額外的服務以應對增加的需求。這些交通安排的目的是為了方便馬拉松活動的進行，同時最大程度地減少對公眾的不便，確保所有參與者和觀眾的安全。
