  • Roads reopen as commuters return to work

Commuters returning to work in Wan Chai and Admiralty on Tuesday morning can expect disruption, with roads closed after a night of violence around the Legislative Council building.

As of 6am, major roads including most of Harcourt Road, and the stretch of Gloucester Road between O'Brien Street and Arsenal Street, had reopened after closing to traffic overnight. Drivers using the westbound Central-Wan Chai bypass can now leave at Lung Wo Road.

Many of the roads around the Legco complex were also closed overnight. As of 6am, however, Lung Wui Road and Expo Drive remained closed in both directions.

The MTR Corporation stopped services to Wan Chai and Admiralty on Monday morning, and services were disrupted for much of the day due to overcrowding at Admiralty. Trains are expected to operate as normal on Tuesday.

The Education Bureau suggested that schools in the area adopt contingency measures and show flexibility when pupils are late or absent. It also urged shool principals to ensure safety on campus, maintain contact with parents and only allow pupils to go home after class is dismissed when conditions are safe.
