Route 5 (Hong Kong)

Road in Hong Kong

Route 5 (Chinese: 五號幹綫) is a strategic route[1] in Hong Kong from eastern to western Kowloon and New Kowloon, and ends in Tsuen Wan in the New Territories where it connects to Route 9. It is one of the most seriously congested routes in Kowloon, as it serves as an interchange to the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel, especially during peak hours.
