Tate's Cairn Tunnel, Road tunnel connecting Sha Tin and Wong Tai Sin Districts, Hong Kong.
Tate's Cairn Tunnel is a road passage that runs beneath a mountain ridge to connect two districts on opposite sides. The structure has two separate tubes, each carrying multiple lanes of traffic in either direction.
Work on this passage began in the late 1980s as traffic between the two areas grew significantly. When it opened in 1991, it became a key link enabling regional connections and development.
This infrastructure project represented Hong Kong's commitment to modern transportation solutions during its rapid development period of the 1990s.
Using this tunnel requires paying a fee that varies depending on what type of vehicle you drive. Electronic payment systems are available at the entrances to make the process straightforward.
The tunnel passes under Tate's Cairn mountain at 583 meters elevation, connecting Ma Liu Shui interchange with several major regional routes.
