Tseung Kwan O Tunnel (traditional Chinese: 將軍澳隧道; simplified Chinese: 将军澳隧道; Cantonese Yale: jeung1 gwan1 ou3 seui6 dou6) is a 900-metre tunnel beneath Ma Yau Tong in Hong Kong. The tunnel was opened in 1990. Part of Route 7, it links Sau Mau Ping, Kwun Tong of Kowloon and New Kowloon and the new town of Tseung Kwan O (Junk Bay), Sai Kung in New Territories. It was used by 80,385 vehicles daily in 2011.
The flat toll fee for the tunnel is HK$3.
This tunnel is connected to Tseung Kwan O Road on the Kowloon side along with its toll plaza, and Tseung Kwan O Tunnel Road on the Tseung Kwan O side.
The western entrance/exit of the tunnel is within the borders of Sai Kung District, although the toll plaza straddles across the border of the two districts.
Tseung Kwan O Tunnel is currently managed by Greater Lucky (H.K.) Company Limited.
