Acting Chief Executive Matthew Cheung:
On the Central-Wan Chai Bypass congestion, I would use the words “teething problems” on the first day. Things have already been improving. 

In fact overnight, Transport Department colleagues have been doing their very best to erect directional signboards and also display more information spontaneously on various screens, in the very important so-called vantage points facilitating motorists. 

I’m sure that given time, and also with the completion in a month’s time of the access road, the link road between Rumsey Street and also the access road itself, the bypass itself, the situation will further improve.
