New Airport Access
Work on the major highway projects related to the new airport at Chek
Lap Kok and developments along the north-western shore of Lantau was
completed and opened to traffic during the year. The projects include the
Western Harbour Crossing, the West Kowloon Highway, the Tsing Kwai
Highway, the Rambler Channel Bridge, the Cheung Tsing Tunnel, the
Lantau Link and the North Lantau Highway.
The Airport Core Programme includes a rail link which will provide a fast,
efficient service to the new airport and a domestic service to Tung Chung
New Town. The new line will help to relieve existing congestion on the
Nathan Road Corridor of the Mass Transit Railway and it will also serve
new developments on the West Kowloon Reclamation.
