Note: The development project boundary, alignment and station location of railway and major roads projects under-planning as shown are indicative only. The exact boundary, alignment and station location are subject to further review. For cross-boundary railway projects, the associated alignment and station location are subject to further discussion with Mainland authorities.

1 Northern Link

  • The Northern Link project comprises the construction of Kwu Tung Station on the existing Lok Ma Chau Spur Line of East Rail Line, and the construction of a 10.7-kilometre long main line between the existing Tuen Ma Line Kam Sheung Road Station and Kwu Tung Station with three intermediate stations at Au Tau, Ngau Tam Mei and San Tin. The completed Northern Link together with the existing East Rail Line and Tuen Ma Line will form a railway loop linking up the New Territories and Kowloon, which will not only improve the connection of existing railway network, serving the Kwu Tung North New Development Area and the San Tin Technopole, but also unleash the potential of land around Au Tau, Ngau Tam Mei and San Tin, driving the developments in these areas.
  • Construction works of Kwu Tung Station commenced in September 2023 for completion in 2027 to support the major new population intake of Kwu Tung North New Development Area. The detailed planning and design of Northern Link Main Line is underway. The construction works are anticipated to commence in 2025 for completion in 2034 to support the developments around the San Tin Technopole, Ngau Tam Mei and Au Tau.

2 Northern Link (NOL) Spur Line

  • The proposed NOL Spur Line is about 5.8 km in length and its alignment starts from the San Tin Station on the proposed NOL Main Line, passing through the San Tin Technopole and the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park in the Loop, and connects to the new Huanggang Port in Shenzhen. The project will help strengthen the cross-boundary transport link as well as the connection between the Loop and the urban area, and will provide another option for residents and tourists travelling to and from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The Government is actively following up on the relevant work with Mainland authorities and the MTR Corporation Limited for commencement of the detailed planning and design stage within 2024.

3 Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Rail Link (Hung Shui Kiu-Qianhai) (HSWRL)

  • The proposed HSWRL is about 18 km in length (with a length of about 8 km for the Hong Kong section) and its alignment starts from the location adjoining the Hung Shui Kiu Station of the Tuen Ma Line, passing through Ha Tsuen and Lau Fau Shan, crossing the Deep Bay and connecting to Qianhai via Shenzhen Bay Port. The project will connect the Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area with the Qianhai Cooperation Zone with a view to strengthening the connection between the Northern Metropolis and the Guangzhou-Shenzhen innovation and technology corridor. Moreover, with the support of road networks, the two areas will be developed into a strategic hub of transport corridor on the east bank of the Pearl River to promote integrated development and connectivity between Hong Kong and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
  • The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government have been taking forward the HSWRL project through the “Task Force for Hong Kong-Shenzhen Co-operation on Cross-Boundary Railway Infrastructure” and its Technical Group. The First Stage Study, which established the strategic value and necessity of the project has been completed. The Second Stage Study commenced in early 2023 to study the planning, preliminary engineering feasibility, benefits, environmental impact as well as construction and operation arrangements, and is expected to be completed in mid-2024.

4 Hung Shui Kiu Station

  • The proposed Hung Shui Kiu Station will be built between the existing Tin Shui Wai Station and Siu Hong Station of Tuen Ma Line, serving residents of the Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area (HSK/HT NDA) and the adjacent area by providing a direct railway connection for HSK/HT NDA for supporting the sustainable growth in population and employment opportunities in the NDA. The detailed planning and design for Hung Shui Kiu Station is underway. The construction works are anticipated to commence in 2024 for completion in 2030 to support the major new population intake of HSK/HT NDA.

5 Central Rail Link

  • The Central Rail Link (CRL) is an approximately 17-km railway connecting Kam Tin in Yuen Long and Kowloon Tong via Kwai Chung. It will link the Northern Metropolis and the Harbour Metropolis while supporting the sustainable development of the Northern Metropolis. Connecting to the existing and proposed railways, including the Tuen Ma Line, the Tsuen Wan Line, the Kwun Tong Line, the East Rail Line, the NOL, the NOL Eastern Extension and the Northeast New Territories Line, the CRL will offer more direct and faster routes as well as an additional commuting option for travelling between the Northern Metropolis and different districts of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.

6 Hong Kong Island West – Hung Shui Kiu Rail Link

  • In the preliminary proposed strategic transport infrastructure of the Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands, the railway will connect Hung Shui Kiu and western part of Hong Kong Island, passing through Tuen Mun East, Sunny Bay and the Artificial Island.

7 Northern Metropolis Highway

  • The approximately 23-km Northern Metropolis Highway consists of four sections, namely the Tin Shui Wai Section, San Tin Section, Kwu Tung Section and the New Territories North (NTN) New Town Section, from west to east, linking the core developments in the Northern Metropolis, enhancing the east-west connections of the NTN and forming a new east-west corridor. It will significantly improve transport efficiency of the strategic road network in the northern part of the New Territories while laying a solid foundation for transport infrastructure development in the NDAs.

8 Route 11 (section between Yuen Long and North Lantau), Tsing Yi–Lantau Link, Widening of Yuen Long Highway (section between Lam Tei and Tong Yan San Tsuen) and Tuen Mun Bypass

  • To cater for the traffic need arising from the progressive developments in the Northwest New Territories, the Government is taking forward a series of road infrastructure projects to enhance internal and external connectivity of the area. Moreover, by upgrading the road infrastructure, it will further strengthen the connectivity of major roads and the capacity of the local road network, thereby enhancing the connectivity of developments in the vicinity and effectively unleashing the development potential of the districts concerned.
  • As for connection to urban areas, the Government has been implementing Route 11 (section between Yuen Long and North Lantau), Tsing Yi–Lantau Link and Widening of Yuen Long Highway (section between Lam Tei and Tong Yan San Tsuen). As regards road connection to the airport and Lantau, the Government has been implementing the Tuen Mun Bypass which links up Lam Tei to Tuen Mun Area 40 as well as Tuen Mun–Chek Lap Kok Tunnel. The Government strives to commission the above-mentioned road projects progressively in or before 2033.

9 Shatin Bypass

  • The Shatin Bypass is approximately 15 km long. Compared with the existing Tolo Highway and the Tai Po Road, the Shatin Bypass will serve as a more direct north-south corridor, connecting the northeast New Territories with the urban areas of Kowloon. Its northern end will connect to the Fanling Highway in Tai Po, providing convenience not only for road users in the North District but also for residents in Tai Po, Tai Wo, Hong Lok Yuen, Lam Tsuen and Tai Hang. Its southern end will connect to the existing major road network near Cheung Sha Wan in Kowloon West. The Shatin Bypass will give residents of the New Territories East a faster route to the urban areas, and enhance the transport network for north-south connectivity as well as relieve traffic pressure on Tolo Highway.

10 Green Transport Corridor from Tsim Nei Tsui to Pak Nai

  • The Government is exploring the feasibility of providing a green transport corridor from Tsim Bei Tsui to Pak Nai, so as to enhance the transport network of the HSK/HT NDA upon expansion.

11 Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen Smart and Green Mass Transit System

  • Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area (NDA) is planned to be served by a Smart and Green Mass Transit System (formerly called “Green Transit System”), which will connect different residential and commercial areas, employment centres and major community facilities in the NDA. The Transit System will also connect to the Yuen Long South NDA.

12 Northern Link Eastern Extension

  • Spanning approximately 9.5 km, the Northern Link Eastern Extension will extend NOL eastward from Kwu Tung Station to Ping Che, passing through various development nodes in NTN New Town (including Lo Wu/Man Kam To). The extension will establish effective links between the NDAs and the railway network. It is planned to connect to the proposed Northeast New Territories Line at its terminal.

13 Northeast New Territories Line

  • Spanning approximately 8.5 km, the Northeast New Territories Line will run from Heung Yuen Wai, passing through areas such as Ping Che and Queen's Hill, and connect with Fanling Station of the East Rail Line. It will link the major development nodes in the NTN New Town and facilitate public access to the Heung Yuen Wai boundary control point as well as provide an interchange with the East Rail Line.
