Just 4 of 28 lifts at Queen Mary Hospital block set for service once repairs done
Architectural Services Department says remaining lifts had suffered frequent operational instability and requires urgent follow‑up
Only four of the 28 lifts at Queen Mary Hospital’s new clinical block will operate normally following minor repairs, while work must be carried out on the rest until the end of the year, according to Hong Kong’s architectural authorities.
The Architectural Services Department said on Thursday only four lifts serving non‑clinical facilities at the HK$13.5 billion (US$1.72 billion) block were in acceptable condition and would undergo minor repairs later.
The remaining lifts had suffered frequent operational instability and required urgent follow‑up, it added.
The department expected work to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year.
