Lin Shih-Hsiung: MTR Corporation (00066.HK) will submit a proposal for the revitalization of Hung Hom Station and the surrounding land by the end of this year.
Raymond Lin, Director of the Transportation and Logistics Bureau, stated that since last July, the undersea tunnel (Red Tunnel) has been implementing 'EasyPass'. In addition, with the implementation of time-based tolls for the three cross-harbor tunnels since last December, traffic around the Kowloon entrance and exit of the Red Tunnel has been smoother than before. The Highways Department has completed the demolition of toll booths, toll islands, and toll plaza structures of the Red Tunnel. The Transportation Department will utilize the freed-up road space to coordinate with traffic management and road safety needs, and through straightening lanes, further improve traffic flow at the Kowloon entrance and exit of the Red Tunnel, with the related works expected to be completed early next year. The Transportation Department will continue to review the traffic situation and available space in that stretch of road in the future.
