Eastern Harbour Crossing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Eastern Harbour Crossing (Chinese: 東區海底隧道), abreviated as "EHC" (Chinese abbreviation: 東隧) is a tunnel in Hong Kong. The road part of the tunnel is branded by the operator, New Hong Kong Tunnel Company Limited, as Eastern Harbour Tunnel, although the government refers to the tunnel itself as Eastern Harbour Crossing and the legislation governing the tunnel is known as Eastern Harbour Crossing Ordinance. There are many harbour-crossing bus routes that go via the Eastern Harbour Crossing. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Eastern_Harbour_Tunnel   (332 words)

Finally! Sydney's Cross City Tunnel Tolls Reduced & Public Roads Re-Opened - GMInsideNews Forums "There has been a tradition of the Government topping up private projects, such as the Harbour Tunnel and the airport rail link and we are worried this is what will happen with the Cross City Tunnel," Ms Rhiannon said.

Simon World :: Tunnels and the Reds at SCMP With the eastern crossing's tolls now up to $25 a car, how can we rebalance use of the harbour tunnels so the one in the middle, the most heavily used one, is not pushed too far beyond overcapacity with severe implications for traffic jams on either side? It is expected that with the proposed CHT (Cross-Harbour Tunnel) toll increase, 10,000 private cars will be diverted to the Eastern Harbour Crossing and the Western Harbour Crossing per day. It has also been suggested that the government build a fourth cross-harbour tunnel. simonworld.mu.nu /archives/079418.php   (1735 words)

Crikey Website - Sydney's privatisation tunnel vision The cross-harbour tunnel is the usual conspiracy between weak government and strong capitalism.

Leyland Olympian's role in KMB After 1972 when the Cross-Harbour Tunnel was built, KMB was facing a great pressure on fleet due to the increasing number of passengers.

Cross Harbour Tunnel While pretty much all of CROSS HARBOUR TUNNEL’s characters don’t look or act like the most “with it” of people, I find it understandable to see the words “hip” and “cool” being used to describe this indie work that’s often bathed in neon and infused with music that’s emphatically not mainstream Cantopop. After one viewing of CROSS-HARBOUR TUNNEL (whose name appears to have been derived from the busy mile-long direct road link between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula), I have little doubt that it is a clever and creative piece of work. The definite sense I got when viewing this work though, not least on account of there seeming to have been no attempt whatsoever to hide these facts, was that these are attributes that were sought after and intended to be celebrated rather than just grimly accepted. www.brns.com /pages4/drama199.html   (289 words)

Issue3_keiMa In an age before the cross-harbour tunnel, it was the primary means of connecting Hong Kong island with its mainland cousin Kowloon; an umbilical chord of life and commerce. Everything around the harbour has changed dramatically in the last 10 years. Now however, like in its other transitions, the Ferry has become more of a tourist attraction more than the necessary mean of transportation that it once was. www.azlera.com /ix_templates/issue3_keiMa.htm   (295 words)

OrdinaryGweilo.com: Going Underground The oldest is the one from Hung Hom to Causeway Bay (known simply as the Cross-Harbour Tunnel) which is now owned by the government. The central location of the original tunnel makes it the most popular, and although the government doubled the toll for private cars when it took control, the operators of the other two tunnels have increased their prices so that it will soon be the cheapest again, presumably further increasing congestion. As Jake van der Kamp pointed out last week, the directors of New Hong Kong Tunnel are entitled to raise charges, and the arbitration process has actually allowed them a bigger increase than the one originally rejected by the government. www.ordinarygweilo.com /2005/03/ng_underground.html   (646 words)
