Tuen Mun Road (TMR) was designed and built in the 1970s. It is a major road link between Tuen Mun and Kowloon. As most at-grade sections of TMR have already reached the end of their service life and are now in a state beyond economical repair, the reconstruction and improvement of TMR have commenced in October 2008 for completion in phases in 2014. After completion the road will be upgraded to the current expressway standards as far as practicable. Moreover, inconvenience to road users due to frequent maintenance works will be reduced. |
