Other officiating guests included the Secretary for Transport and Housing, Frank Chan Fan, the Permanent Secretary for Transport and Housing (Transport) Mable Chan, the Commissioner for Transport Rosanna Law Shuk-pui, and the Director of Highways Jimmy Chan Pai-ming.

After its opening, the journey from Tuen Mun to the airport will be shortened by about 22 kilometers, saving 20 minutes. The tolls of the Lantau Link will be waived from midnight due to the opening of the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link Northern Connection.
