Road Network
Hong Kong's road network is amongst the most heavily used in the world. Currently the public road network of Hong Kong is about 2,224 km in total length – 450 km on Hong Kong Island, 480 km in Kowloon and 1,294 km in the New Territories respectively, with over 818,000 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 20 major road tunnels, 1,457 flyovers and bridges, as well as 1,594 footbridges and subways in Hong Kong to keep people and goods on the move.
