Road and Rail Link

Figure 19: Cross Bay Link

External road link to and from the New Town is mainly via Tseung Kwan O Tunnel, supplemented by Po
Lam Road as well as Ying Yip Road and Hang Hau Road connecting to Clear Water Bay Road. Additional
major external links, namely the Tseung Kwan O - Lam Tin Tunnel and Tseung Kwan O Cross Bay Bridge
(Figure 19), both commissioned in December 2022, further connects Tseung Kwan O and East Kowloon
with the aim of meeting the continuous increase in transport demand. Traffic to and from the Tseung
Kwan O Innopark is diverted from Wan Po Road to Tseung Kwan O Cross Bay Bridge and Tseung Kwan O
- Lam Tin Tunnel, thus minimising adverse traffic and associated environmental impacts on the residential
areas in the New Town.

Apart from Tseung Kwan O Tunnel and Tseung Kwan O - Lam Tin Tunnel, external access is also
supported by the MTR Tseung Kwan O line from Lam Tin to Tseung Kwan O. Two additional road and rail
links, namely the Tseung Kwan O-Yau Tong Tunnel and Tseung Kwan O Line Southern Extension to Area
137, are proposed to further enhance the traffic condition of the new town.

Franchised buses, taxis and green mini-buses are the main modes of public transport in addition to the
MTR. With the completion of the major external roads in future, the accessibility to the New Town will be
greatly improved.
