Hong Kong’s road network stretches over 2,200 kilometers — longer than the distance between Hong Kong and Seoul. The construction and maintenance of this extensive network rely on the dedicated efforts of frontline teams.

From routine tasks to emergency responses, from bustling urban districts to remote rural areas, the Highways Department has carried out every duty with professionalism for the past four decades. In recent years, it has kept pace with the times, embracing smart technology and sustainable development to make the city more livable, safer, and more convenient. Each task may seem small, but they are all interconnected: every lamppost, every repair, every inspection reflects a continuing commitment to serving the public.

Roads are the lifelines of a city, connecting spaces, bringing people closer, and driving its growth.

Hong Kong’s extensive road and railway networks have laid a solid foundation for growth and development. For four decades, the Highways Department has upheld a spirit of professionalism and innovation. From the Tsing Ma Bridge and Ting Kau Bridge, to the high-speed rail and the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge which link the Mainland, as well as the newly opened Central Kowloon Bypass and the upcoming Hong Kong–Shenzhen Western Rail Link, they are integral to Hong Kong’s overall development, connecting and enriching life at every step.
