Tai Lam Tunnel

Tai Lam Tunnel (zh-tspcy|t=大欖隧道|s=大榄隧道|p=Dàlǎn Suìdào|cy=daai6 laam5 seui6 dou6) is a dual 3-lane Route 3 tunnel in Hong Kong. The tunnel and its highway connection itself are also known as Route 3 (Country Park Section), which is 10.1 km long connecting Au Tau, Yuen Long and Ting Kau, Tsuen Wan. The tunnel is 3.8 km long and is part of the Tsing Long Highway.

The tunnel acts as a major access to the northwest part of New Territories and mainland China from Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula. It greatly eases the stress on the overloaded Tuen Mun Road brought by the rapid development of new town of Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai and Tuen Mun, and the drastic growth of traffic on Lok Ma Chau access to mainland China.
