Road Network
Hong Kong's road network is amongst the most heavily used in the world. In December 2023, the public road network of Hong Kong is about 2,239 km in total length – 449 km on Hong Kong Island, 481 km in Kowloon and 1,309 km in the New Territories respectively, with over 815,000 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, 1,467 flyovers and bridges, as well as 1,609 footbridges and subways in Hong Kong to keep people and goods on the move.
