(F) Expedite Transport Infrastructural Development

53. To dovetail with the development of the Northern Metropolis, construction works of Kwu Tung Station and Hung Shui Kiu Station are proceeding in full swing for completion in 2027 and 2030 respectively. Adopting an innovative mind-set, the Government has signed the Part 1 Project Agreement with the MTRCL. It will concurrently develop the Northern Link Spur Line in combination with the Main Line, achieving simultaneous commissioning by 2034 or earlier.

54. Cross-boundary railway projects will lead to the comprehensive integration of metro networks in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, significantly enhancing the GBA's infrastructure connectivity and boosting industry's confidence in setting up operations. We are pressing ahead with the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Rail Link (Hung Shui Kiu-Qianhai) project and have invited expressions of interest from contractors and operators on the Hong Kong section of the project.
