Western Harbour Crossing

Western Harbour Crossing

The Western Harbour Crossing (abbreviation "WHC"; zh-tspcy|t=西區海底隧道|s=西区海底隧道|p=Xīqū Hǎidǐ Suìdào|cy=sai1 keui1 hoi2 dai2 seui6 dou6) is a dual 3-lane immersed tube tunnel in Hong Kong. It is the third tunnel to cross Victoria Harbour, linking the newly reclaimed land in West Kowloon with Sai Ying Pun on Hong Kong Island. It was constructed by the Western Harbour Tunnel Company on a 30 year franchise (1993-2023) build-operate-transfer (BOT) model proposed by the Government.

The Western Harbour Crossing is part of the Airport Core Programme which was a comprehensive set of infrastructure projects associated with the airport at Chek Lap Kok. The tunnel carries on the Route 3 designation from the West Kowloon Highway, and connects to Route 4 on Hong Kong Island.
