Lantau Link (青嶼幹線), part of Route 8, consists of three major sections, namely Tsing Ma Bridge (青馬大橋), Ma Wan Viaduct (馬灣高架路) and Kap Shui Mun Bridge (汲水門大橋), most of which is an expressway. It was opened on 22 May 1997 to connect the North West Tsing Yi Interchange in Tsing Yi with the Tsing Chau Tsai Peninsula in northeast Lantau Island and to connect with the North Lantau Highway.
The Lantau Link is now an essential route for travelling to and from Ma Wan by land. Before the completion of the Tuen Mun Chek Lap Kok Tunnel Road, the Lantau Link and the North Lantau Highway were essential routes for travelling to and from Lantau and the urban areas by land.
History[]
Welcome to remove this template after the expansion is finished.
The Lantau Link, which was one of the ten core projects of the Hong Kong Airport Core Programme, was commissioned on 22 May 1997 and is 3.5 kilometres long, comprising the Tsing Ma Bridge, the Kap Shui Mun Bridge and the Ma Wan Viaduct. [1]
To celebrate the completion of the Airport Core Programme (ACP) transport network, the Lantau Link was opened on 27 April 1997 by the former British Prime Minister, Mrs Margaret Thatcher, the Governor of Hong Kong, Mr Chris Patten, and the Chief Secretary, Mrs Anson Chan. The grand finale was a fireworks display and laser show at 8:00 p.m. In one of the shows, a total of 785 fireworks were launched from the 70-metre-high Tsing Ma Bridge, which is more than 1 kilometre long, as a waterfall, creating a spectacular spectacle [2]. Large-scale road closures were imposed on Tuen Mun Road and Castle Peak Road to allow the public to celebrate the completion of the Link and share the joy.
Three months later, on 29 August, the Government announced its intention to rename the section of North Lantau Highway between the toll booths at the Lantau Toll Plaza and the North West Tsing Yi Interchange as the Lantau Link[3], with effect from 9 January of the following year[4].
Tolling arrangements[]
The 22-kilometre-long expressway section of the highway network leading to the Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok is designated as the Tsing Ma Control Area (青馬管制區, TMCA), which runs from the Mei Foo Interchange at the start of the Tsing Kwai Highway to the Yam O Interchange of the North Lantau Highway, and comprises the Tsing Kwai Highway, the Rambler Channel Bridge, the Cheung Tsing Tunnel, the Cheung Tsing Highway, the Tsing Yi North Coastal Road, the North West Tsing Yi Interchange and the Lantau Link.
The TMCA control area is equipped with a Traffic Control and Surveillance System to control traffic flow, assist in incident management and provide useful information to motorists. The TMCA is operated and maintained by a private sector management contractor, the Transport Infrastructure Management Limited (交通基建管理有限公司). At the initial stage of operation, the toll plaza of the Lantau Link consisted of 20 toll booths with staff tunnels underneath, with entrances and exits to the tunnels at every three toll booths.
To provide greater convenience to motorists, smoother traffic flow in the direction of the airport and to save staff costs at the toll plazas, the Government decided on 14 February 1997 that the Lantau Link should be operated on a one-way toll collection basis until an alternative Lantau Link was available [5]. Motorists entering Lantau Island via the toll plaza could drive straight through the toll booths without stopping to pay the tolls, while the tolls for both directions were collected in one go at the toll booths for the urban direction when the vehicles leave Lantau. As some motorists were not familiar with the arrangement and stopped at the toll booths, resulting in a number of accidents, five of the Airport-bound toll booths were removed in October 1999 to create an unobstructed passageway for motorists to pass through directly. [6]
When the underwater tunnel section of the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge were commissioned in future, Lantau Link would no longer be the only road in and out of Lantau, and it will be necessary to change from a one-way to a two-way toll collection mode. The Government announced in 2017 that the toll collection mode of Lantau Link would be changed from one-way to two-way toll collection with effect from 0000 hours on 20 August 2017, i.e. motorists were required to pay a one-way toll for entering and leaving Lantau Island via the toll plaza. [7][8]
When the next phase of toll collection arrangement came into effect on 20 August, only two automatic toll lanes and four manual toll lanes were in operation in the airport direction at the Lantau Link Toll Plaza, while the central unobstructed lane, which was originally intended for vehicles to pass through directly, was closed to allow for the re-installation of the toll booths in the future. The following day was the first working day under the new toll collection arrangement. In the morning, only six toll lanes were open in the airport direction, which could not cope with the traffic flow during working hours, causing serious congestion on the Lantau Link, and at one stage, the traffic queue extended to the Tuen Mun Road near So Kwun Wat, the Nam Wan Tunnel and the Tai Lam Tunnel, and the impact on the Lam Tunnel and its Kowloon direction was intermittent.
As a result of the incident, as many as 125 Citybus and LWB buses lost their trips [9] and LWB had to borrow a number of buses from the KMB fleet to operate its routes to meet its urgent needs. The {Park Island Transport also had to operate a special ferry service to and from Tsuen Wan so that passengers could avoid the congestion at the Tsing Ma Bridge [10]. TD opened an additional fare booth for franchised buses only in the evening to deal with the emergency, and promised to open two more fare booths on the following day in order to avoid repeating the same mistake. [11][12][13][14]
In the 2019 Policy Address, the Chief Executive proposed to seek ways to reduce the costs of using government tolled tunnels and control zones for the public, public transport operators and the transport trades as far as traffic conditions permit. When the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link (TM-CLKL) opens, it was proposed to waive the tolls of the Lantau Link as it is considered that traffic to and from Lantau Island will be diverted. [15] By November 2020, when it was announced that the TM-CLKL would open on 27 December 2020, it was formally announced that the tolls of the Lantau Link would be waived from that date.
Coordinating emergency accidents[]
In 2018, in response to a question raised by a LegCo Member, the Government advised that the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link had not yet been commissioned, and whenever a traffic accident occurred on the Lantau Link or the North Lantau Highway, the external road traffic in North Lantau would be affected. The Transport Department (TD) has put in place contingency measures, including placing a number of tow trucks at suitable locations on the highway. When a traffic accident is detected, TD will immediately dispatch staff to the scene of the accident and quickly remove vehicles blocking the road, so that normal traffic can resume as soon as possible. At the same time, the Emergency Transport Co-ordination Centre (ETCC) of the Department would, having regard to the circumstances of the incident, liaise closely with relevant government departments and public transport operators to arrange for appropriate emergency services or service adjustments.
The ETCC would also keep the public informed of the latest developments and traffic arrangements through the media, TD's mobile phone apps, the Airport Authority's mobile phone apps, variable message displays on major trunk roads in the vicinity, and the radio re-broadcasting system inside the tunnel as soon as possible, and appeal to the public to plan their journeys in advance or make changes to their travelling routes in order to minimise the impact of the incident. [16]
Strong Wind Traffic Management Measures[]
To ensure the safety of motorists, the Lantau Link and Ting Kau Bridge within the TMCA will be subject to strong winds in phases according to the set wind speeds under strong wind conditions. [17]
- When the 10-minute average wind speed of the Lantau Link or Ting Kau Bridge exceeds 60 kilometres per hour [Remark 1], the Transport Department (TD) will implement the first phase of traffic control, during which vehicles, motorcycles and motor tricycles exceeding an overall height of 1.6 metres are prohibited from using the bridges, the median of the bridges will be closed, and the speed restriction will be reduced from 80 kilometres per hour to 50 kilometres per hour. To avoid traffic disruption in Ma Wan, the Transport Department (TD) will allow some designated single-decker low-floor buses to continue to operate on the bridge deck, and under certain circumstances, KMB Route Y41 will provide service to support Resident Bus Route NR330 which run to and from Tsing Yi, whereas KMB Route Y31 will support on Resident Bus Route NR331 which run to and from Tsuen Wan.
- When the 10-minute average wind speed of the Lantau Link or Ting Kau Bridge exceeds 75 kilometres per hour [Remark 2], TD will implement Stage 2 traffic control, whereby all traffic lanes on the Lantau Link bridge deck will be closed and all vehicles will be diverted to the single-lane lower deck road with a speed restriction of 50 kilometres per hour, and the Ting Kau Bridge will be completely closed.
- When the 10-minute average wind speed of the Lantau Link exceeds 165 kilometres per hour [Remark 3], TD will implement the third stage of traffic control and the upper and lower decks of the Lantau Link will be completely closed.
Before and during the implementation of strong wind traffic control, TD and TMCA adopt appropriate traffic management and contingency measures in accordance with the established procedures and mechanism to divert traffic and notify the public, with a view to minimising the impact as far as practicable while ensuring safety. These measures included: [18]
- Notifying the public as early as possible about 45 minutes before the implementation of the first phase of traffic control, including issuing strong wind traffic control and latest traffic and public transport service messages to the public through radio and other media, as well as through the websites and mobile phone applications of TD, the Airport Authority and public transport service operators (including bus companies and MTR);
- making use of the message displays on major roads in the TMCA and TSCA and some major roads in other districts, as well as through the radio broadcasting systems in a number of tunnels, to alert motorists to the traffic conditions of the Lantau Link, so that passengers who are already en route can have the information to facilitate their consideration of switching to railway services; and
- liaising with public transport operators, including MTRCL, to make timely service adjustments in response to passenger demand, and increasing the frequency of MTR Airport Express and Tung Chung Line to cope with additional passenger demand.
Structure[]
Lantau Link is an expressway for most of its length, starting from Lantau Toll Plaza and ending at the North West Tsing Yi Interchange. The entire section is within the Route 8, with slip roads to Ma Wan (authorised vehicles only). The tracks of the Tung Chung Line and the Airport Express run underneath the bridge deck.
Lantau Link has an lower carriageway which is open during major sports events, maintenance works or strong wind control on the bridge deck; the underpass is not within the expressway area and there is no access to Ma Wan.
