Northern Metropolis Highway
Project Description:
The Northern Metropolis Highway (NMH) is a major east-west corridor linking the development nodes (including Ngau Tam Mei, San Tin Technopole, Kwu Tung North/Fanling North and New Territories North (NTN) New Town) in the Northern Metropolis with a total length of approximately 23 kilometers. The preliminary alignment of the NMH connects Tin Shui Wai to the NTN New Town near Ping Che, and consists of the four road sections – Tin Shui Wai section, San Tin section, Kwu Tung section, and NTN New Town section. The NMH will enhance accessibility to the new development areas, and further enhance cross-boundary road connections for passengers and goods, enabling members of the public and visitors to travel conveniently to and from various major land boundary control points in the Northern Metropolis. Upon commissioning of the NMH, it can effectively divert about 40 per cent of the traffic flow between the New Territories East and West during peak hours, thereby alleviating traffic pressure on existing roads.
