To cope with the increasing population in Tseung Kwan O District and the associated demanding traffic loading, the Tseung Kwan O – Lam Tin Tunnel (TKO-LTT) is constructed as a dual two-lane highway connecting TKO in the east with Eastern Harbour Crossing and Cha Kwo Ling Road of Kwun Tong in the west, aiming to improve the traffic conditions within Kwun Tong District and relieve the extra traffic load to be brought about by the future development of the district. Upon completion of the project, part of the existing traffic between Tseung Kwan O and Eastern Harbour Crossing can use the TKO-LTT without routing through TKO Road and Lei Yue Mun Road etc. of the Kwun Tong District.
