Plans to substitute cross harbour ferries by a tunnel or even a bridge had been made already in the early decades of the 20th century. They were never put into practice until the mid-1960s. Construction of the tunnel started in 1969
The Cross Harbour Tunnel opened on 2nd August 1972. It is 1,86 km long and has 2x2 lanes. The north entrance is at Hung Hom, the south entrance near Kellet Island. Toll has to be paid for crossing, the toll booths are at the northern entrance for both directions.
