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.
