  • LEIGSLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL on TRANSPORT Proposed Tolls And
    LC Paper No. CB(1)2036/06-07(01) LEIGSLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL ON TRANSPORT Proposed Tolls and Other Charges for Tsing Sha Control Area Purpose This paper seeks Members’ views on the proposed tolls for part of the Tsing Sha Control Area (TSCA), i.e. the section between Sha Tin and Cheung Sha Wan and on the proposed other charges. Background 2. Route 8 is a strategic road linking Sha Tin and North Lantau. The western section of Route 8 is the Tsing Ma Control Area (TMCA) linking Tsing Yi and North Lantau, which came into operation in 1997. The remaining section of Route 8 between Tsing Yi and Sha Tin is under construction. This section is about 15 km in length, and comprises three road tunnels (Sha Tin Heights Tunnel, Eagle’s Nest Tunnel and Nam Wan Tunnel), a cable-stayed bridge across the Rambler Channel (Stonecutters Bridge), four viaducts (Lai Chi Kok Viaduct, Ngong Shuen Chau Viaduct, Nam Wan East Viaduct and Nam Wan West Viaduct), as well as several interchanges and slip roads. The alignment of Route 8 between Tsing Yi and Sha Tin is at Annex. 3. The section between Sha Tin and Cheung Sha Wan is scheduled to open in late 2007/early 2008, followed by the Nam Wan Tunnel and viaducts at Tsing Yi in late 2008 and the Stonecutters Bridge in mid-2009. On completion, Route 8 will provide a direct road link between Chek Lap Kok and the Northeast New Territories via Tsing Yi and Cheung Sha Wan. It will also provide additional road capacity to cope with the increasing traffic along the Lion Rock Tunnel (LRT), Tate’s Cairn Tunnel (TCT), Shing Mun Tunnels (SMT), Cheung Tsing Highway, Cheung Tsing Tunnel and Tsing Kwai Highway.
