Damaged scaffolding forces closure of Ferry Street flyover in Yau Ma Tei

Damaged scaffolding dangled precariously beneath a Yau Ma Tei flyover on Sunday morning, forcing the full closure of Ferry Street towards Tsim Sha Tsui.

Police received reports at 7.41am that green debris netting under the Ferry Street flyover near Tung Kun Street was damaged. Construction materials trapped inside were left hanging loose, with some debris falling onto the road below.

Police cordoned off the section of the road, while firefighters handled the scene and helped remove the hazardous debris. The closure prevented large vehicles from passing and forced several bus services to divert.

The Transport Department said all lanes on Ferry Street southbound near Tung Kun Street were closed due to the dangerous scaffolding. Affected Kowloon Motor Bus routes 2E and 12 were diverted, with drivers urged to use alternative routes amid heavy traffic.
