'''Tsing Long Highway''' ({{zh|c=青朗公路|cy=Tsīng Lóhng Gūnglouh}}; {{zh|j=cing1 long5 gung1 lou6|p=Qīng Lǎng Gōnglù|first=t,cy,j}}) is a motorway of [[Route 3 (Hong Kong)|Route 3]] from {{ill|North West Tsing Yi Interchange|yue|%E9%9D%92%E8%A1%A3%E8%A5%BF%E5%8C%97%E4%BA%A4%E5%8C%AF%E8%99%95}} on [[Tsing Yi|Tsing Yi Island]] to [[Yuen Long District|Yuen Long]], in Hong Kong. [[Ting Kau Bridge]] and [[Tai Lam Tunnel]] are part of the motorway. It connects with [[Cheung Tsing Highway]] and [[Lantau Link]] at its southern end, and [[San Tin Highway]] and [[Yuen Long Highway]] at its northern end. Its speed limit at parts south of Tai Lam Tunnel and in that tunnel is {{cvt|80|km/h}} and parts north of Tai Lam Tunnel is {{cvt|100|km/h}}.

There are no intermediate exits on the southbound carriageway of Tsing Long Highway on the north of Tai Lam Tunnel, so this entire section is a toll road. Likewise there are no entrances on the northbound carriageway on this section.

The motorway is designated an {{permalink|Controlled-access highway|oldid=curr#:~:text=Hong%20Kong%20Strategic%20Route%20and%20Exit%20Number%20System|label=expressway}} except for the [[Tai Lam Tunnel]] stretch.<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://www.td.gov.hk/filemanager/en/content_13/TNTW1/TA_determination%20and%20delineation%20of%20boundaries%20of%20expressways%20-%20eng_20231208.pdf#https://www.td.gov.hk/en/road_safety/road_users_code/index/chapter_5_for_all_drivers/expressways_and_trunk_road_/index.html|title=Determination and Delineation of Boundaries of Expressways}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Transport Department - Expressways and Trunk Roads |url=https://www.td.gov.hk/en/road_safety/road_users_code/index/chapter_5_for_all_drivers/expressways_and_trunk_road_/ |access-date=2025-05-05 |website=www.td.gov.hk}}</ref>
