Aberdeen Tunnel (Chinese: 香港仔隧道; pinyin: Xiānggǎngzǎi Suìdào; Cantonese Yale: heung1 gong2 jai2 seui6 dou6) is a two-tube tunnel linking Happy Valley and Wong Chuk Hang near Aberdeen on the Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. It shortens the travel time between the north and the south of the Hong Kong Island. Part of Route 1, it connects the Wong Chuk Hang Road in the south, and Canal Road Flyover in the north. The toll plaza - incidentally, the only toll plaza on Hong Kong Island - is at the Wong Chuk Hang end. The toll is HK$5. The tunnel is 1.9 kilometres long and was used by 57,400 vehicles daily in 1999.
