Tung Chung Line Extension

The project comprises three components:

• a new intermediate Tung Chung East Station between Sunny Bay Station and Tung Chung Station
• an extension of the existing Tung Chung Line (TCL) to a new terminal station at Tung Chung West, and
• the Airport Railway Extended Overrun Tunnel (Remaining Section), i.e. extension of the existing overrun tunnels at the east of Hong Kong Station.
  
  Construction is expected to commence in 2023.

Project Overview

 

Tung Chung East Station
The newly-added Tung Chung East Station will be a key component of the transport infrastructure to support the Tung Chung New Town Extension (East) development.

 

Tung Chung West Station
The Tung Chung West Station, located to the west of the existing Yat Tung Estate, will serve existing residents and potential housing developments nearby, including in the Tung Chung New Town Extension (West) planning areas.

 

Airport Railway Extended Overrun Tunnel (AREOT)
The AREOT is an underground tunnel around 460-metre long at the east of Hong Kong Station, which will enable TCL trains and Airport Express Rail Line trains to turn around at the back of the Hong Kong Station.
