Road Maintenance and Improvement

It is our vision to upkeep the road network of Hong Kong to world class standards.  All public roads, footways and lanes maintained by us, including the associated street furniture and exclusive drainage, are inspected regularly.

Through these inspections, the surface and structural conditions of roads and the necessary maintenance works, if any, are identified.  Common maintenance works include repair of pot holes on pavement, road re-surfacing, replacement of damaged traffic signs and street furniture, etc.

Different environmental friendly technologies are adopted in our maintenance works as appropriate.  These include waste reduction by adoption of concrete pavers made from recycled aggregates processed from construction and demolition materials or containing recycled glass, reinstatement of localized defects on bituminous road pavement using in situ bituminous material by thermal patcher, etc.  The use of thermal patcher also reduces construction noise.

 

Apart from road maintenance, we also work closely with Transport Department on minor improvement works, such as provision of pedestrian crossing and bus bay, local road realignment / widening, barrier enhancement etc.
