Western Harbour Crossing and Route 3 maintain toll levels

The franchisees of Western Harbour Crossing and Route 3 will maintain actual tolls at the current levels despite new statutory that were gazetted.

"WHC and Route 3 are entitled to increase their statutory tolls if the companies' actual net revenues fall short of the minimum estimated net revenues specified in the law," a Transport and Housing Bureau spokesman said. "The two tunnel companies will keep the actual tolls unchanged for all types of vehicle. Tunnel users will therefore not be
affected."

The toll adjustment mechanisms for WHC and Route 3 are specified in the Western Harbour Crossing Ordinance  and the Tai Lam Tunnel and Yuen Long Approach Road Ordinance, respectively. The franchisees of WHC and Route 3 recently notified the Government of their decisions to exercise their right to effect a statutory toll increase.
