Programme Highlights
The Cross Harbour Tunnel (CHT) is the first tunnel in Hong Kong built
underwater. It is the earliest of three vehicular harbour crossings in Hong Kong,
opened for traffic on 2 August 1972. It was constructed under 30-year
private-sector franchise based on a build–operate– transfer model, and title
passed to the Hong Kong government in August 1999 upon termination of the
franchise. It has become one of the most congested roads (mainly towards the
Hong Kong Island direction) in Hong Kong and the world, with 116,753 daily
vehicles in 2013. An introductory talk will be provided to the participants on
the history and operation of CHT. The participants would visit to the CHT’s
Administration Building and the Control Room
