The government also built a depot there for the MTR lines. The highway was completed in 1997, and the MTR lines in 1998 (in time for the opening of the new airport). Soon after that, the government constructed a new tunnel link from Siu Ho Wan to Discovery Bay , which was opened in 2000 and known as the Discovery Bay Tunnel . TRANSPORTATION By Bus:
