The Transport Department (TD) today (June 21) reminded members of the public that to facilitate road repair work at the Tate's Cairn Tunnel, the following temporary traffic and transport arrangements will be implemented at the Tate's Cairn Tunnel from 10pm on Saturday (June 23) to 6am on Sunday (June 24):
 
(i) The slow lane of the Tate's Cairn Tunnel (Kowloon bound) from its toll plaza to its Kowloon exit, and the slip road leading from the Kowloon exit to Hammer Hill Road and Lung Cheung Road, will be closed to all vehicular traffic;
 
(ii) Vehicles from the Tate's Cairn Tunnel Kowloon bound exit heading for Hammer Hill Road and Lung Cheung Road eastbound will be temporarily diverted; and
 
(iii) KMB routes No. 74D, 74X, 75X, 80X, 82X, 83X, 84M, 85M, 88, 89C, 89D, 89X, 277X and 286M heading for Kowloon will be diverted from 9.30pm on June 23 to 6am on June 24. The bus stop on Choi Hung Road westbound near Sze Mei Street serving KMB routes No. 82X and 85M will be temporarily relocated.
 
     Due to the lane closure, the TD anticipates that the traffic at the Tate's Cairn Tunnel will be relatively busy during the above period. Motorists should exercise tolerance and patience when passing through the road sections concerned and consider using alternative routes. Appropriate traffic signs will be erected on-site to guide motorists.
 
     Members of the public are advised to use railway services or bus services via the Lion Rock Tunnel or the Tsing Sha Highway to Kowloon. They are also advised to plan their journey in advance and allow more travelling time to avoid unexpected delay.
 
     The TD and the tunnel operator will closely monitor the traffic situation and implement appropriate traffic and transport measures whenever necessary. Members of the public are advised to stay alert to the latest traffic news on radio and television.  
 
     Details of the temporary traffic and transport arrangements are now available on the TD's website (www.td.gov.hk).

     The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department today (June 21) announced an adjustment to the auto-LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations from July 1 to July 31, 2018, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contracts of the dedicated LPG filling stations.
 
     A department spokesman said that the adjustment on July 1, 2018, reflects the movement of the LPG international price in June 2018. The adjusted auto-LPG ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations will range from HK$3.48 to HK$4.01 per litre, representing an increase of HK$0.24 to HK$0.25 per litre.
 
     The spokesman said that the auto-LPG ceiling prices were adjusted according to a specified pricing formula. The formula comprises two elements – the LPG international price and the LPG operating price. The LPG international price is the LPG international price of the preceding month. The LPG operating price is adjusted on the first day of February every year according to the movement in the Composite Consumer Price Index in the previous year.
 
     The auto-LPG ceiling prices for respective dedicated LPG filling stations in July 2018 are as follows:
 

     The spokesman said that the details of the LPG international price and the auto-LPG ceiling price of each dedicated LPG filling station have been uploaded to the department website www.emsd.gov.hk.

Attention TV/radio announcers:

Here is an item of interest to swimmers.

     The Leisure and Cultural Services Department announced today (June 21) that due to big waves, red flag has been hoisted at Hap Mun Bay Beach in Sai Kung District. Beach-goers are advised not to swim at the beach.

    Nido International Company Ltd announced today (June 21) the opening of its new gallery, aimed at leveraging Hong Kong's international city status and sophisticated art industry to help alternative artists connect with local and international art scenes and flourish.
 
     The gallery sits on Hollywood Road, a popular location for many galleries from around the globe. Nido International Company Ltd’s co-founder Ms Ivy Hung said that the company sees Hong Kong as the regional base to reach out to an international audience, and that her gallery is "unusual" in terms of its operations.
 
     Ms Hung said, "Hong Kong is one of the most international cities in the world. The gallery industry and related trades are also very robust here, giving us an ideal foothold to anchor and reach out to a diverse range of art collectors and a discerning audience from around the world."
 
     She added, "We also see a gap in the market as creative artists who focus on craftsmanship in the region could not find a commercial channel. Hence, we aim to be an unusual art gallery in Hong Kong, offering a platform connecting art, design and hand craftsmanship and people who are interested in these areas."
 
     She said that along with the gallery's "crowd-sourcing" concept, its debut exhibition will feature not only multimedia installations, but also an interactive late night audio-visual live show performed by two artists, Dutch-born audio-visual artist 0010×0010 and Hong Kong artist Quistography.
 
     Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion Dr Jimmy Chiang welcomed Nido International Company Ltd’s decision to open its gallery in Hong Kong. He said, "Hong Kong has a thriving art scene. Many international galleries have already set up their presence in the city. Together with the access to the fast growing number of high net worth individuals in Asia-Pacific, the city is an ideal place for overseas galleries from which to expand in the region."
