(d)
Advancing the construction of the Western Harbour
port developments in order to provide transportation
facilities
to serve Lantau Island and the new
airport.
These facilities would include both
highway and rail, partly in an undersea tunnel and
partly on reclamation. The proposal envisage this
as the main access to the new airport. However the
Government's plan does not envisage this transport
link as required until well beyond the year 2000
only when sufficient traffic demand to make it
economically viable has built up.
