The MTR says Admiralty Station will temporarily remain closed following a request by police. It had closed early on Wednesday at 8.30 pm following the running battles between anti-extradition protesters and police that left at least 72 people injured.
The station is close to the Central Government Offices and the Legislative Council, the centre of the protests.
Trains on the Island Line, the Tsuen Wan Line and the South Island Line will not stop at the station. Free shuttle buses are being laid on between Ocean Park Station and Admiralty.
Most roads are open although parts of Harcourt and Lung Wo Roads, Tim Mei Avenue and Queensway are closed as of 8.30am on Thursday.
The nearby Pacific Place shopping mall also said it would not open.
The Central Government Offices will remain closed today and tomorrow.
