History
Cheung Pei Shan Road was opened in July 1980 to provide access to Cheung Shan Estate and Shek Wai Kok Estate. At that time, the road was directly connected to Wo Yi Hop Road at its east end. In 1990, the Shing Mun Tunnels were completed, and the east end of Cheung Pei Shan Road was realigned to connect directly to the west entrance of the tunnels. Connection to Wo Yi Hop Road was cut.
In September 2001, construction was started on an extension of Cheung Pei Shan Road from Tsuen Kam Interchange to the Tsuen Wan end of Tuen Mun Road.{{cite web|url=http://www.hkie.org.hk/ea/eng/details.asp?id=67|publisher=Hong Kong Engineering Archive|title=Projects: Route 9 - Section between Shek Wai Kok and Chai Wan Kok|accessdate=21 October 2012}} This extension was opened on 8 February 2007, closing the gap of the New Territories Circular Road.{{cite web|url=http://www.hk-place.com/view.php?id=319|accessdate=1 April 2007|title=道路及鐵路 － 香港幹線公路(二)}}
