Road Network
Hong Kong's road network is amongst the most heavily used in the world. In September 2023, the public road network of Hong Kong is about 2,238 km in total length – 449 km on Hong Kong Island, 480 km in Kowloon and 1,309 km in the New Territories respectively, with over 819,000 vehicles travelling, together with the dense development and the undulating terrain, bringing considerable challenges to the road maintenance works of the Highways Department.
There are 21 major road tunnels, 1,462 flyovers and bridges, as well as 1,605 footbridges and subways in Hong Kong to keep people and goods on the move.
