The Crosslinks Further Study completed in March 2001 confirmed the need for a fourth vehicular boundary crossing. The Deep Bay Link is a dual 3-lane carriageway, which upon completion will provide a strategic link between the additional vehicular boundary crossing, the Hong Kong - Shenzhen Western Corridor, and Yuen Long Highway. |
Deep Bay Link is a dual 3-lane carriageway with a total length of about 5.4-kilometre, extending from Ngau Hom Shek in the north near the shoreline to Lam Tei in the south. The majority of the Deep Bay Link are in the form of viaducts.
The project includes :-
-
construction of a 5.4-kilometre dual 3-lane carriageway linking the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Corridor at its landing point in Ngau Hom Shek with the Yuen Long Highway at Lam Tei;
-
construction of two interchanges respectively at Lam Tei and Ha Tsuen and an access road to connect DBL with Ha Tsuen areas;
-
construction of turnaround facilities with weighing station, vehicle recovery base and helipad at Ha Tsuen Interchange;
-
construction of a traffic control surveillance system; and
-
associated civil, structural, electrical and mechanical, geotechnical, landscape and drainage works, fire services, water works, environmental mitigation measures, street lighting, traffic aids and directional signs.
