The 15th National Games (NG) road cycling men’s individual event will be held on November 8, when temporary traffic control measures will be implemented on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) Hong Kong Port, the HZMB and some roads to facilitate the holding of the race.

At a press conference today, National Games Coordination Office (Hong Kong) Head Yeung Tak-keung said the upcoming road cycling (men's individual) event is the only event that spans over Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau in the 15th NG, and outlined the various arrangements for the race.

Among others, temporary traffic control measures will be implemented on the HZMB eastbound from Zhuhai/Macau towards Hong Kong from 9am to 12.30pm, and on the HZMB westbound from Hong Kong towards Zhuhai/Macau from 7.30am to 12.30pm.

During the temporary control period, all vehicles are prohibited from using the HZMB.

The HZMB Hong Kong Port's Departure Hall of Passenger Clearance Building and Outbound Vehicle Clearance Plaza will be closed at 6.30am.

The departure and clearance services at the HZMB Hong Kong Port will resume after 12.30pm that day.

It is expected that traffic will be busy. Travellers and drivers who plan to use the bridge on that day are advised to plan their trips in advance and pay attention to the traffic control arrangements within Zhuhai.

Additionally, temporary traffic control measures will be implemented on the North Lantau Highway and roads near the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort during the Hong Kong section race period.

The travel time to and from the airport via the North Lantau Highway is expected to increase by about 30 minutes.

Members of the public and travellers who need to travel to and from Zhuhai or Macau are urged to plan their itineraries in advance, and use other control points and public transport as far as possible.
