In Hong Kong plans are moving forward with regard to the construction of the new Lam Tin Tunnel. The tunnel will be around 2.6km long and form the major stretch of a new 4.2km road link connecting Lam Tin with Tseung Kwan O South. The Tseung Kwan O to Lam Tin Tunnel project also includes the construction of a number of interchanges, pedestrian walkways and cycle lanes. A key segment of the work is the construction of a 1.2km single one-lane slip road partly in the form of tunnel connecting Tseung Kwan O and Eastern Harbour Crossing. Another important aspect is the construction of the 400m long dual two-lane Cha Kwo Ling Tunnel between the proposed Lam Tin Interchange and Trunk Road T2. The P2 Road will be an 800m long, dual two-lane highway (Road P2), with some 600m of the link in a cutting and the remaining 200m covered by landscaped deck. The new Lam Tin Interchange and Tseung Kwan O Interchange will connect the new road and tunnel link to the existing road network. Ancillary works for the project include a number of footbridges, pedestrian crossings, cycle lanes, parking areas and modifications to the existing seawall. Neither the estimated cost of the work nor the work schedule, have so far been released.
