The Transport Department (TD) today (June 21) reminded members of the public that to facilitate road repair work at the Tate’s Cairn Tunnel, the following temporary traffic and transport arrangements will be implemented at the Tate’s Cairn Tunnel from 10pm on Saturday (June 23) to 6am on Sunday (June 24):
(i) The slow lane of the Tate’s Cairn Tunnel (Kowloon bound) from its toll plaza to its Kowloon exit, and the slip road leading from the Kowloon exit to Hammer Hill Road and Lung Cheung Road, will be closed to all vehicular traffic;
(ii) Vehicles from the Tate’s Cairn Tunnel Kowloon bound exit heading for Hammer Hill Road and Lung Cheung Road eastbound will be temporarily diverted; and
(iii) KMB routes No. 74D, 74X, 75X, 80X, 82X, 83X, 84M, 85M, 88, 89C, 89D, 89X, 277X and 286M heading for Kowloon will be diverted from 9.30pm on June 23 to 6am on June 24. The bus stop on Choi Hung Road westbound near Sze Mei Street serving KMB routes No. 82X and 85M will be temporarily relocated.
Due to the lane closure, the TD anticipates that the traffic at the Tate’s Cairn Tunnel will be relatively busy during the above period. Motorists should exercise tolerance and patience when passing through the road sections concerned and consider using alternative routes. Appropriate traffic signs will be erected on-site to guide motorists.
Members of the public are advised to use railway services or bus services via the Lion Rock Tunnel or the Tsing Sha Highway to Kowloon. They are also advised to plan their journey in advance and allow more travelling time to avoid unexpected delay.
The TD and the tunnel operator will closely monitor the traffic situation and implement appropriate traffic and transport measures whenever necessary. Members of the public are advised to stay alert to the latest traffic news on radio and television.
Details of the temporary traffic and transport arrangements are now available on the TD’s website (www.td.gov.hk). read more

The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department today (June 21) announced an adjustment to the auto-LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations from July 1 to July 31, 2018, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contracts of the dedicated LPG filling stations.
A department spokesman said that the adjustment on July 1, 2018, reflects the movement of the LPG international price in June 2018. The adjusted auto-LPG ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations will range from HK$3.48 to HK$4.01 per litre, representing an increase of HK$0.24 to HK$0.25 per litre.
The spokesman said that the auto-LPG ceiling prices were adjusted according to a specified pricing formula. The formula comprises two elements – the LPG international price and the LPG operating price. The LPG international price is the LPG international price of the preceding month. The LPG operating price is adjusted on the first day of February every year according to the movement in the Composite Consumer Price Index in the previous year.
The auto-LPG ceiling prices for respective dedicated LPG filling stations in July 2018 are as follows:
