Route 2 (Chinese: 二號幹綫) of Hong Kong runs from Quarry Bay of Hong Kong Island to Ma Liu Shui of the New Territories East, formerly known as route 6, and renamed as route 2 in 2004 under the route numbering scheme proposed in the same year. Route 2 consists of 4 parts, from South to North:

  • The Eastern Harbour Crossing starting from Quarry Bay, where it joins into the Island Eastern Corridor (Route 4), across Victoria Harbour and ending at Lam Tin, then
  • The Kwun Tong Bypass succeeds the EHC at Lei Yue Mun Interchange and goes along the coast of Kowloon Bay, junctions Route 5 and Route 7 and continues to Diamond Hill.
  • Tate's Cairn Tunnel continues the route from Diamond Hill, cutting through Tate's Cairn to Shek Mun Interchange, junctioning the Sha Lek Highway
  • Tate's Cairn Highway, takes the route 2 to its terminus at Ma Liu Shui, where it joins into Tolo Highway of Route 9.

    • Like Route 3, the entire route is an express freeway.
