Construction of the Tuen Mun South Extension (TME) project has commenced. The “Connecting Tuen Mun South” online project newsletter will bring you updates of the project, construction progress, community activities and even more.
The MTR Corporation is currently undertaking several new railway projects, including the Tuen Mun South Extension (TME) to expand the coverage of the MTR network, connect and build communities, and promote the development of smart cities.
A16 Station and Tuen Mun South Station are an above-ground and an elevated station respectively with sustainable features. The new stations aim to achieve low carbon emissions while integrating into the community.
In addition to railway construction, the project will re-provision and upgrade various community facilities to enhance the quality of living of Tuen Mun residents. Adopting the “re-provision before demolition” approach, several re-provisioning projects have already commenced.

Construction of a railway in a well-developed community is no easy task. The project covers works at various locations and the Tuen Mun River. Overview of locations of key works site at the initial construction stage

The Corporation attaches great importance to environmental protection in the design and construction process when implementing the new railway projects. We make every effort to minimise the project’s impact on the surrounding environment while ensuring compliance with relevant statutory requirements. Learn more about Environmental Mitigation
From 28 March to 10 April 2024, a TME exhibition will be held at L1 Ocean Walk to introduce the latest works information. Come and explore more about this new railway. Interactive activities and a photo spot will be available!
Since 2020 and prior to works commencement, we have organised and participated in more than 100 community activities (including seminars, exhibitions and sharing sessions) to enhance communications with the community.
As the project entered the construction phase, two Community Liaison Groups & the Wu King Road School Liaison Group were formed and over 30 meetings have been arranged to exchange views with local representatives and share project updates.
A Kick-off Event for the TME project was held in October 2023 and the ceremony was graced by the presence of representatives from relevant government departments, working partners and community representatives. The celebration marked the beginning of the construction of the TME project.
To welcome the Year of the Dragon, the TME project team reached out to celebrate the new year with the community together with our local partners in February 2024. A series of festive events were organised to spread cheer and blessings in the community. Events highlights
