Many years ago, the Government planned to build a new arterial road connecting the Northwest New Territories with Lantau Island. In September 2021, the Government launched a survey study on Route 9, including three sections of tunnels including the Lam Tei Tunnel, the Sweeping Wat Link and the Tai Lam Chung Tunnel, as well as the Tsing Lung Bridge, with the aim of opening to traffic no later than 2036.
According to the documents submitted by the Highways Department to the District Council, under the streamlining of statutory and administrative procedures, the latest opening target of Route 2033 is to be opened three years earlier by 2033, on a par with the Tsing Yi to Lantau Link Road, when residents of Northwest New Territories can drive directly to the cross-sea bridge of Lantau Link to Tsing Yi via the newly built Tsing Lung Bridge. As for the Tuen Mun Bypass, it is also expected to open to traffic in <>; However, the Wong Chu Road Link, which was originally used to divert traffic in Tuen Mun District, will be cancelled due to the lack of expected results and the complexity of the project.
In addition, the Tsing Long Bridge on Route <> was originally planned to be a two-way three-lane cross-sea bridge, but according to this document, the latest plan is changed to two-way four-lane bridge, which will be the first north-south two-way four-lane cross-sea bridge in Hong Kong.

As early as 2000, the Government planned to build a trunk road connecting Yuen Long and North Lantau Island, then known as the "Route 2017 – North Lantau to Yuen Long Highway Project", including the Siu Lam Link and the Sawat Link, but it was eventually cancelled due to many objections. By 2021, the government will commence a feasibility study on Route 9; In September <>, the exploration study was carried out and the preliminary design was revealed.

The Highways Department recently submitted a document to the Tonquan Council to explain the latest progress of Route 11, which includes a group of major arterial roads from Lam Tei via Sweep and Tai Lam Chung to North Lantau Island; It consists of four major interchanges (including the Blue Tei Quarry Interchange, the Wat Interchange, the Tsing Lung Tau Interchange and the North Lantau Interchange), three sections of tunnels (including the Blue Ground Tunnel, the Sweeping Wat Link and the Tai Lam Chung Tunnel), two open-air sections (including the Sweeping Wat-Siu Lam Open Road and the Tai Lam Chung River Viaduct) and a Tsing Long Bridge.

Compared with the previous announcement, more details have been explained this time, and some changes have been made, including the mention that 3km of the 2km long Wat Link will pass through Tai Lam Country Park in the form of a tunnel. According to the document, the project will be as far away as possible from country parks and existing villages.

In addition, the Tsing Long Bridge, which crosses the sea and connects Tsing Lung Tau to North Lantau Highway, was originally planned to be a two-way three-lane cross-sea bridge. However, according to the latest plan, the Castle Lung Bridge, which is about 1.3 kilometers long, will be changed to the first north-south two-way four-lane cross-sea bridge in Hong Kong. The Tai Lam Chung Tunnel connected to the proposed Tsing Lung Tau Interchange and Tsing Lung Bridge is about 1.7 km long and will also be the first double-pipe, four-lane tunnel in Hong Kong.

The streamlining process is expected to be opened to traffic three years earlier and the traffic in Tungong will be significantly improved

The entire project was initially expected to open to traffic no later than 2036, although the government expects the latest target to be operational by 2033 after streamlining statutory and administrative procedures. The Government estimates that after the completion of the entire set of arterial roads, the use of Route 25 from the Northwest New Territories out of the city is expected to save up to about <> minutes in the morning during peak hours compared to using Tuen Mun Highway. In addition, Route <>, together with the Lantau Link Road, can be an alternative option between the Northwest New Territories and the urban area, diverting traffic to the urban area will help to improve congestion on Tuen Mun Highway, Tai Lam Tunnel and Ting Kowloon Bridge, and the authorities have pointed out that the traffic situation on Tuen Mun Highway will be significantly improved.

Tunnels on Route 11 (District Council Paper)

One end of Route 2036 is located in Tuen Mun Blue Land, where a Tuen Mun bypass is being planned. Another District Council document revealed that the project, which was also scheduled to open to traffic in 2033, was brought forward to 10 and included a two-lane two-way separation road of about 40 km long, mainly connecting Tuen Mun District <> (i.e. Mong Hau Shek) in the form of a tunnel, adjacent to the Tuen Mun to Chek Lap Kok Tunnel, and the proposed interchange of the Blue Land Quarry.

The Huangzhu Road Link project was cancelled

In addition, the opening of the Tuen Chuk Tunnel has exacerbated congestion on adjacent roads, such as Wong Chu Road, and the Government has proposed to widen the southbound section of Tuen Mun Highway (city centre) to part of the westbound link of Wong Chu Road. However, the document revealed that due to the lack of obvious effect on improving the traffic situation in the area, and due to the complexity of the project, it is expected to be delayed until mid-2032, which is only about a year earlier than the Tuen Mun Bypass Road, so the project will not be carried out, and resources will be concentrated on the expansion of the Lung Fu Road Link and Haywing Road Link.
