Speaking to the media this morning, Ms Chan said up until now, there has been a total of 50,000 traffic of vehicles throughput through the bypass.

“We noticed a significant improvement in the diversion effect of the bypass in improving the traffic conditions along the Gascoigne Road Flyover and also other major roads in the Kowloon district.”

In general, the usage of the bypass is smooth, she added.
