AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, today announced that it has been selected by the HKSAR
Government Highways Department to deliver the Tsing Yi – Lantau
Link (TYLL), a new strategic road linking Lantau Island and Tsing
Yi aimed at increasing capacity and accommodating future traffic
demand from the Northern Metropolis development.
Well-designed transportation infrastructure is vital to the
success of any new town. “We are excited to leverage our world
class technical excellence in delivering innovative,
technology-enabled long-span and specialty bridge solutions on this
impactful project. This work builds on our extensive experience in
roadway projects and will further strengthen the resilience of Hong
Kong’s road network,” said Ian Chung, chief executive of AECOM’s
Asia region.
The TYLL will offer an alternative route to the Lantau Link for
vehicles commuting between the Northwest New Territories (NWNT) and
urban areas. It will connect the proposed North Lantau Interchange
and Tsing Yi Connection, comprising two long-span bridges crossing
Ma Wan Fairway and Kap Shui Mun Fairway. Together with Route 11 and
other relevant major roads, the TYLL will form a network of
strategic roads to improve the conditions of traffic in and near
the NWNT while also increasing the route options for the commuter
traffic on Lantau Island and surrounding urban areas.
AECOM’s multidisciplinary team includes international experts in
their fields, and will coordinate civil and geotechnical
engineering, landscaping, road and drainage systems, electrical and
mechanical engineering, traffic control and surveillance systems,
roadside equipment, and environmental mitigation measures to
deliver design and project supervision for the long-span
bridges.
With phased commissioning planned through 2033, the TYLL will
help deliver economic benefits by improving mobility to and from
Hong Kong International Airport and the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao
Bridge. It will also prove critical to the Northern Metropolis
development in Hong Kong’s northern New Territories, which will
transform the northern part of Hong Kong into a thriving
metropolitan area. In addition to the TYLL, AECOM is delivering
several of other projects to support the Northern Metropolis
development, which include master planning, engineering and design
services for critical infrastructure. AECOM was selected by the
HKSAR Government Highways Department in May 2023 to deliver the
TYLL.
