MTR LINE EXTENSION
The Hong Kong government has approved the MTR Tung Chung Line extension project, which will see the line diverging into East and West sections. The project will include the construction of an aboveground Tung Chung East station between the existing Sunny Bay and Tung Chung MTR stations, and an underground Tung Chung West terminus, at Yat Tung Estate.

Scheduled for completion in 2029, the extension is poised to bring more convenience to Tung Chung residents. As of now, it takes around 25 minutes to reach Tung Chung from Yat Tung Estate, with buses running every 20 minutes. According to estimates, the total journey time between Tung Chung West Station and Tung Chung East Station towards Tsim Sha Tsui or Central will be reduced by around 12 and 21 minutes, respectively.
