The economic and trade relationship between Hong Kong and the Mainland will become closer and closer, especially with the neighboring regions of Guangdong Province. Therefore, it is expected that cross-border passenger and cargo transportation will increase significantly in the coming days. When we plan our infrastructure, we must take into account the future demand for cross-border passenger and cargo transportation. We need to build new rail and vehicle crossings, and study the feasibility of building a long-distance cross-boundary freight rail line. The Sheung Shui-Lok Ma Chau Spur Line is being listed as a construction project for expedited approval. It is hoped that this new passenger railway can be completed in 2004 to relieve the congestion of the Lo Wu Railway crossing.

The Shenzhen-Hong Kong Western Corridor connecting Guangdong Province is expected to be completed in 2005. At the same time, we will implement various measures to enhance the efficiency of the existing vehicle boundary control points. These measures include considering extending the opening hours of control points and improving vehicle quota control; increasing manpower and the number of checkpoints; strengthening cooperation and coordination with the Mainland authorities in order to divert vehicles at border crossing bottlenecks; and implementing special traffic management measure.
