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.
Route 5 begins in the east from Kowloon Bay westwards via central Kowloon to Yau Ma Tei. From Yau Ma Tei, the road heads north to Tsuen Wan and meets Route 9. In the Tai Kok Tsui section of Route 5, the northbound and southbound lanes are separated. It passes through Ngau Tau Kok, Kowloon Bay, Hung Hom, Yau Ma Tei, Lai Chi Kok, Kwai Chung and Tsuen Wan.
