📋 Tender Overview
Scope :
Tuen Mun South extension will extend the Tuen Ma Line to enhance connectivity to the Tuen Mun South community in Hong Kong.
The Tuen Mun South (TMS) extension project is a 2.4km long extension of the Tuen Ma Line southward from the Tuen Mun station in Hong Kong.
The extension project will offer a direct railway connection to the south of the Tuen Mun town centre, allowing residents to conveniently travel to various parts of Hong Kong through the railway network without any interchange at Tuen Mun station.
It is one of seven projects that are part of the Railway Development Strategy 2014 (RDS-2014) programme aimed at expanding Hong Kong’s railway network.
In February 2016, the Transport and Housing Bureau of the Hong Kong government requested Mass Transit Railway (MTR), a government-owned property developer and public transport operator, to submit a proposal for the TMS extension under an ownership arrangement. MTR submitted the initial proposal in December 2016, with subsequent modifications in July 2017 and January 2018.
The capital cost for the project is estimated to be approximately $15.8bn, as of July 2023. The government approved the financial arrangements for the TMS extension construction project in September 2023.
Construction commenced in October 2023, with completion anticipated by 2030.
TMS expansion project details
The TMS extension project will extend the West Rail Line (WRL) from Tuen Mun station via a new viaduct along the Tuen Mun River. The WRL was one of the original lines of Hong Kong’s MTR system, which has since become part of the Tuen Ma Line.
The project will include two new stations: an intermediate station at Tuen Mun Area 16 (A16) and a terminal station at TMS near Tuen Mun Ferry Pier. The new stations will be located next to the light rail stops and transport terminus, allowing for convenient interchange.
The viaduct will link to the existing overrun facility at Tuen Mun station and extend to the future terminal station.
New stations details
The TMS station will be constructed on Wu King Road near Tuen Mun Ferry Pier. It will include an entrance near Wu King Road Garden and another at Siu Hei Shopping Centre located near Tuen Mun Ferry Pier. The concourse and platforms will be on the top level of the elevated station’s mezzanine level. It will integrate into the promenade, providing a unique and stunning view.
The A16 station will be built at the existing Tuen Mun swimming pool blending the station design with the Tuen Mun riverside. It will be a three-level above-ground station with platforms on the upper level and concourses on the middle level, with entrances at both middle and ground levels. The entrances will be located near the existing GREEN@TUEN MUN recycling facility and the Hoi Wong Road Garden.
Sustainable features of the stations
