eToll to be extended to Western Harbour Crossing and Eastern Harbour Crossing in August

Hong Kong’s new electronic toll system HKeToll will be extended to the Western Harbour Crossing and Eastern Harbour Crossing on August 6 and 27 respectively, with motorists no longer required to stop or queue at toll booths for payments.

The new toll system will be implemented from 5 am on the designated dates to replace all manual toll booths and Autotoll lanes. Motorists can pay tunnel tolls using toll tags.

The Transport Department said 0.00 am on August 2, both tunnels will be closed briefly for about five minutes to facilitate the renewal of the toll collection facilities.

Meanwhile, the department said upon the government’s takeover of the Western Harbour Crossing on August 2, the fixed toll for private cars using the Western Harbour Crossing will be lowered to HK$60, while that for the Cross-Harbour Tunnel and Eastern Harbour Crossing will be adjusted to HK$30.

Cross-harbour taxis will be charged an all-day fixed toll of HK$25 for the three road harbor crossings. Tolls for other vehicle types will remain unchanged.
