Transport Department officials have released notices covering a temporary closure of part of the fast lane on Sha Tin Road southbound, where the speed limit drops from 80 km/h to 50 km/h during construction of the Sha Tin Trunk Road T4.

Sha Tin Road Lane and Speed Measures

Officials note that the change affects southbound traffic to support trunk road works. The measure applies to a section of the fast lane and is presented as necessary for site safety and progress on the project. Drivers are directed to observe the lower limit while the works continue.

Cycle Track Closure on Shing Mun River Channel

Officials state that the cycle track along the western bank of the Shing Mun River Channel in Sha Tin will remain closed from 13 April 2026 to 24 September 2026 because of flood wall construction. The notice covers the full period and identifies the works as the reason for the temporary shutdown, leaving cyclists to seek alternative routes during those months.

Bus and Minibus Stop Relocation on Sai Sha Road

Officials have confirmed that bus and green minibus stops on Sai Sha Road southbound outside Ma On Shan Sports Ground are moved about 20 meters southward. The relocation runs from 7 February 2026 to 6 August 2026, with the change intended to accommodate site requirements at that location.

Earlier Diversions and Rail Service Details

Officials recorded that in October 2025 road works closed the main road from Lion Rock Tunnel Road northbound to Sha Tin Road northbound, requiring diversions for several Kowloon Motor Bus routes including 72X, 271 and 270A. Current notices also record that Sha Tin Station runs MTR services to Hung Hom Station every 5 minutes, providing a steady rail option alongside the road changes.

Planning for Ongoing Works

Officials advise road users and cyclists to allow extra time and check the latest Transport Department notices before travel, as the listed measures remain in place for the stated periods. The updates focus on maintaining access while construction proceeds at the affected sites.
