Core Programme Highways Projects
North Lantau Highway
This
expressway runs along the northern coast of Lantau, the largest
of Hong Kong's outlying islands, and links the airport and
Tung Chung New Town to the Lantau Link. The expressway was
built on existing or reclaimed land. It is so far the only
vehicular access to the new airport and Lantau from any part
of Hong Kong. There is adequate capacity to cater for initial
developments on Lantau, including planned port developments.
An Airport Railway reserve and a utility reserve are included in the project
as these will share a common corridor with the expressway.
The
expressway was opened to traffic in May 1997.
