Full operation of e-Payment facilities at manual toll lanes of Cross-Harbour Tunnel will resume tomorrow morning

     The Transport Department (TD) announced today (January 19) that the repair work and testing of the e-Payment facilities (including Octopus and credit cards) for all nine manual toll lanes of the Cross-Harbour Tunnel have been completed and the facilities will resume full operation from 7am tomorrow (January 20). 
 
     The facilities of the Cross-Harbour Tunnel were seriously damaged last November and the tunnel was temporarily closed for urgent repair work. It was re-opened to all traffic on November 27. At the time, the "stop-and-go" e-Payment facilities and related systems at toll booths were still under repair and could not be used together with the re-opening of the tunnel. Motorists needed to pay the toll in cash or by Octopus through the hand-held Octopus machines. Credit cards could not be used temporarily.
 
     With the completion of the repair work and testing, the operation of the e-Payment facilities will resume fully. The toll payment methods will resume as normal.
 
     The TD, the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department and the tunnel operator will continue to closely monitor the operation of the manual toll collection.
