Eastern Harbour Tunnel
Press Statement by New Hong Kong Tunnel Company Limited

The New Hong Kong Tunnel Company Limited sends its apologies to all customers driving from Kowloon to Hong Kong through the Eastern Harbour Tunnel around 12:50 p.m. today who were inconvenienced by a delay of about 30 minutes.
 
Four cars deliberately stopped directly in front of entrance to the Hong Kong bound tunnel and refused to move. With the help of the police the tunnel staff were able to clear the blockage.
 
We deplore this action of a few people that inconvenienced so many of our customers, thank the police for their prompt assistance, and look forward to continuing to provide an efficient and reliable cross-harbour service to the public.
