A Hong Kong multi-storey car park on Rumsey Street will undergo a six-week closure starting November 1, 2026, to accommodate Interpol's 94th general assembly. The seventh and eighth floors of the facility in Sheung Wan will be transformed into a traffic coordination command centre, equipped to handle 240 electric cars for participants traveling to and from the meeting venue.

The Hong Kong police force will closely monitor traffic conditions during the closure and implement measures to maintain smooth flow around the car park.
