The Transport Department announced today that the "633" fixed toll scheme will be implemented at the Cross-Harbour Tunnel as well as the Western and Eastern Harbour Crossings at midnight on August 2, upon the Government's takeover of the Western Harbour Crossing (WHC).

Under the toll scheme enacted by the Legislative Council, the fixed toll for private cars using the WHC will be lowered to $60, while that for the Cross-Harbour Tunnel and the Eastern Harbour Crossing (EHC) will be adjusted to $30.

Cross-harbour taxis will be charged an all-day toll of $25 for the three road harbour crossings. Same as the current fare arrangement, a taxi passenger will have to pay both the outbound and return toll of $50 in total if they board a taxi from non-cross harbour taxi stands.

There will no longer be the "empty taxi" vehicle type at the EHC, while tolls for other vehicle types will remain unchanged.

​At midnight on August 2, the WHC and the EHC will be closed for about five minutes to facilitate the renewal of the toll collection facilities.

Motorists should note that the toll tickets sold by the Western Harbour Tunnel Company for payment of WHC tolls as well as the current commercial promotion provided by the company, including the midnight toll promotion and coupons will be terminated upon expiry of the WHC franchise.

In addition, HKeToll will be implemented at the WHC from 5am on August 6 and at the EHC from 5am on August 27 to replace all manual toll booths and Autotoll lanes.
