Our Hong Kong Foundation (OHKF) published an advocacy paper on the strategic transport infrastructures, which proposes three new highway and railway alignments: the North-South Expressway, the East-West Expressway, and the North-South Railway. Complementing the Government’s plan on transport infrastructures, OHKF’s recommendations will enhance the vertical connectivity of the CBDs across Shenzhen, the Northern Metropolis, and the Harbour Metropolis, as well as improve the intra-district horizontal connectivity within the New Territories. 

The three proposed transport infrastructures will help unlock the development potential of the land along the alignment, particularly the plains in Fanling South, Lam Tsuen, Kam Tin and southeast of Yuen Long, which could create synergy with the Northern Metropolis. At the same time, the new infrastructures will divert the heavy traffic between the New Territories and the metro area, allowing the public to experience more convenient and comfortable journeys.
