The 12.5-kilometre North Lantau Expressway,

which was opened to traffic in May, provides access to Tung Chung New Town on Lantau Island, and the new airport site at Chek Lap Kok. The toll plaza for the Tsing Ma Control Area is in the background,

as well as the towers of the cable-stayed Kap Shui Mun Bridge (below). The Tsing Ma Bridge, the Kap Shui Mun Bridge and the Ma Wan Viaduct together form the Lantau Link, which connects the mainland of Hong Kong to Lantau Island.
