Facilitating Traffic Diversion for Road Harbour Crossings

177.         The public has expressed concern about traffic congestion at the road harbour crossings and related traffic problems. Following public consultation and consultancy studies, the Government has worked out feasible proposals to alleviate congestion at the harbour crossings. The broad direction is to increase the toll fees for the Cross Harbour Tunnel and reduce those for the Eastern Harbour Crossing through government subsidy, so as to divert traffic and ease congestion. We plan to conduct public consultation on the specific proposals in the first half of this year and hope that public consensus can be reached as soon as possible.
