Infrastructure

The Kowloon Southern Link (KSL) is due for completion in 2009, and will connect the West Rail Line with the East Rail Line at Tsim Sha Tsui. The new link-line is about 4.5km long and will include new station access in West Kowloon. Pictured are ticket booths at the newly built Austin Station (above), a tunnel-boring machine used in the KSL project (left), and track slabs being installed prior to track laying (right).
