3525 AECOM Technology Corporation has been awarded a consultancy contract worth around US$13 million for the design and an estimated US$103 million contract for the construction supervision of the Tseung Kwan O to Lam Tin (TKO-LT) tunnel project in Hong Kong.

The tunnel will include a 2.6-mile, two-lane highway connecting Tseung Kwan O (TKO) at Po Shun Road in the east with the proposed Trunk Road T2 in Kai Tak development in the west.

Along with the Central Kowloon Route and Trunk Road T2, the tunnel will form part of the city's Route 6, becoming an east-west express link between the West Kowloon and TKO areas. The completion of Route 6 is anticipated to reduce the travel time between West Kowloon and TKO from thirty minutes to twelve minutes.

"Since 2009, we have been involved in the planning of this project, providing preliminary design and other services," said AECOM chairman and chief executive officer John M Dionisio. "We are very proud to be able to contribute to the project's next phase."
