Transport



            Tuen Mun New Town has well-developed
            external and internal transport systems. The
            roads within Tuen Mun and the transport
            links between Tuen Mun and other parts
            of the territory, including Tuen Mun Road
            and Castle Peak Road, have been greatly
            improved over the years. Tuen Ma Line links
            the New Town to Kowloon with a travelling
            time of approximately 30 minutes. The Tuen
            Mun-Chek Lap Kok (TM-CLK) Link provides
            the most direct link between Tuen Mun west
            and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
            Hong Kong Port, the Hong Kong International              Figure 32: The Light Rail Transit System
            Airport at Chep Lap Kok and North Lantau.

            The proposed Tuen Mun South Extension will extend the Tuen Ma Line to the southern part of the
            New Town. The proposed Tuen Mun Bypass will connect the New Town to the TM-CLK Link in the
            south and Kong Sham Western Highway in the north while the proposed Route 11 will connect the
            New Town to North Lantau Highway in the south and Kong Sham Western Highway in the north.  It
            is expected that the accessibility of the area will be greatly enhanced in the future.

            The Light Rail Transit system (Figure 32) is a significant public transport mode offering modern and
            speedy travel between Tuen Mun and Yuen Long. Ferry service is also available from Tuen Mun to
            Lantau Island.








            Looking Ahead



            Government has planned to conduct study for Lung Kwu Tan reclamation and to re-plan Tuen Mun
            West (including the River Trade Terminal and surrounding areas).

            The planned Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area to the north of Tuen Mun New Town
            will bring more job opportunities, as well as commercial and civic facilities, which will also benefit
            the residents of Tuen Mun.
