The South Island Line (East) is an extension of the Hong Kong MTR metro system. The new line will serve the southern coast of Hong Kong Island, between Ocean Park and South Horizons. Construction is expected to be completed in December 2016/February 2017. Together with the proposed South Island Line (West), these two lines connects the Southern District to the rest of the MTR network.
