Central Kowloon Route (“CKR”) is a dual three-lane carriageway with a total length of 4.7km, linking Yau Ma Tei Interchange of West Kowloon with Kai Tak Development Area and road network of Kowloon Bay, forming a trunk road across central Kowloon. The CKR is an alternative express route, alleviating the traffic congestion of the existing major east-west transport corridors in central Kowloon. By constructing CKR, the surrounding environment will be improved, with greening and landscaping elements, re-provision of public facilities, and conservation of cultural heritage. The construction works of the CKR are entering the final stage and are expected to be completed by the end of this year.
The construction of the Tung Chung Line Extension Project commenced mid-2023 and is proceeding in full swing. It is targeted to be completed in 2029. The project mainly comprises two sections: "Tung Chung East Section" and "Tung Chung West Section."
The works of the “Tung Chung East Section” include the construction of a new railway station – Tung Chung East Station# – between the existing Sunny Bay Station and Tung Chung Station, the construction of an approximately 1.2 km new railway section and the diversion of the tracks between Sunny Bay Station and Tung Chung Station to the newly constructed track and station. It also includes modification and extension of the noise barrier, installation of overhead lines and modification of the existing signaling equipment.
Upon completion, “Tung Chung East Section” is going to further enhance the railway and public transportation network in North Lantau, strengthen the connectivity within and outside the district and serve the future population of the Tung Chung East New Town Extension.
