HKeToll set for Tate's Cairn Tunnel
The Transport Department today reminded motorists to take note of the temporary arrangements in the small hours of November 26 to facilitate the implementation of HKeToll at the Tate’s Cairn Tunnel from 5am on the same day.
Motorists will be able to drive through the toll plaza and pay tunnel tolls via HKeToll without having to stop or queue at toll booths.
To facilitate implementation of the service, temporary traffic arrangements will be in force in the vicinity of the tunnel on November 26, in phases starting from 1am.
Both directions of the tunnel and its slip roads will be closed from 4am to 5am, during which time the overnight franchised bus route No. 680 will be diverted via the Lion Rock Tunnel.
At present, more than 810,000 HKeToll vehicle tags have been issued, accounting for over 99% of licensed vehicles in Hong Kong, with about 92% of vehicle owners having opened HKeToll accounts and about 73% having set up automatic payment means.
The department urged the tagged vehicle owners to set up automatic payment as soon as possible if they haven’t done so, in order to fully enjoy the system’s convenience.
For assistance, call 3853 7333, or visit any customer service centre, service outlet or consultation counter.
