Kai Tak Tunnel
Kai Tak Tunnel (), formerly known as the Airport Tunnel (機場隧道) is a tunnel in New Kowloon, Hong Kong, which connects the Kowloon Bay and Ma Tau Kok areas by going beneath the former Hong Kong International Airport (Kai Tak Airport). It is part of Route 5.
The tunnel provides a quick link between the two ends of the tunnel, as before the construction of the tunnel vehicles had to detour through Kowloon City to reach the other end.〔Hong Kong - Streets and Districts (香港街道與地區) (1978), Lands Department, HKSAR.〕〔Hong Kong Yearbook 1999, HKSAR.〕 Kai Tak Tunnel is currently managed by Greater Lucky (H.K.) Company Limited.
==History==
Construction of the tunnel had started by 1975,〔http://hongkongandmacaufilmstuff.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-man-from-hong-kong-wang-yu-1975-kai.html〕 but because of the difficulties in digging under the airport runway, it was not complete until 1982. It opened on 29 June 1982. It was known as Kowloon Bay Tunnel (九龍灣隧道) at the time of its opening, and it was also the first tunnel in Hong Kong to be toll-free,〔 excluding short underpasses.
With Kai Tak Airport's shutdown in 1998, the Airport Tunnel was no longer fulfilled to its name. The Hong Kong Government announced to rename to Kai Tak Tunnel on 2 March, 2006 that the tunnel, effective from 4 May, 2006, after several years of consultation with groups including the Kowloon City District Council.〔(Airport Tunnel renamed as Kai Tak Tunnel ) - Hong Kong Government press release.
