The works include reconstruction and re-alignment of Tuen Mun Road between Tsuen Wan and Tsing Lung Tau to current expressway standard, installation of noise barriers, and associated slope, drainage, landscaping, water and utility works.

The works are expected to begin in June and will take about three years to complete.
