Hong Kong could adjust tunnel tolls as traffic surpasses pre-reform peak

Hong Kong's transport authorities are considering adjusting tolls at the city's cross-harbour tunnels due to increased traffic volumes that have surpassed levels recorded before the introduction of time-varying tolls in late 2023. A report submitted to the Legislative Council indicates that average weekday traffic across the three major harbour crossings rose by 5% to 284,700 vehicles between January and April 2026, compared to late 2023 levels. While peak-hour congestion remains better than before the reform, certain times still cause issues with connecting roads and non-tunnel traffic. The report suggests that adjustments to the toll structure may be necessary to manage traffic more effectively.
