The fourth cross-harbour tunnel proposal will also fundamentally relieve the traffic pressures on the existing road network and strengthen the resilience of Hong Kong Road Network.

Moreover, the proposed development can become a crucial transport corridor for Hong Kong to connect with the other cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and strengthening the connection between Hong Kong and the rest of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

In conclusion, the Institute believes that the Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands project and the proposed fourth cross-harbour tunnel can largely enhance the transport infrastructure of Hong Kong, bringing strong support to the further development of Hong Kong, and improving the well-being of Hong Kong citizens.
