TYNCR then travels across multiple viaducts on the northern side of Tsing Yi, with hills south of the road, and the coastline north of it.

About 1.4 kilometres (0.87 mi) from the eastern terminus,[3] TYNCR travels to Tam Kon Shan Road, near a shipyard and a cement factory.

The road was to relieve the higher traffic traveling through Tsing Yi, especially with the new Hong Kong International Airport and developments in Lantau being built.

[1] The project included the road and its ramps, pedestrian pathways, noise barriers around the highway, surveillance system, and a maintenance centre in Tsing Yi.

[1][6] The Highways Department signed a contract with Gammon Construction Limited for HKD$775.6 million in February 1999,[7] after it invited qualified contractors in October 1998.
