Transcript of remarks by STH

     Following is the transcript of remarks by the Secretary for Transport and Housing, Mr Frank Chan Fan, at a media session after attending a public function today (February 24):

Reporter: Do you have any concern about the Central-Wan Chai Bypass opening?

Secretary for Transport and Housing: As far as we have observed this morning, because of the various preparatory works our colleagues have done, in terms of signage, in terms of electronic signals, and also consultation with transport trade, it is apparent this morning that the flow is rather smooth. Of course, on Monday morning, when everybody is rushing to work, we hope the drivers would take extra caution and care because signage, customisations, and various things would be new to them when they first use the Bypass. With due collaboration and observation to road safety, I hope everything would be fine tomorrow.
