Civil Structures, Environment and General Cleansing

Sign making

In Route 3 Country Park Section, as in all other road structures, the tunnel structures, road surface and furniture are all subject to deterioration over time. Therefore our maintenance team performs routine inspection and monitoring of their conditions. Immediate repair will take place before the safety of road users is compromised.

There are a number of slope cuts during the construction stage to facilitate a smooth alignment of the highway. These slopes require regular stability inspection and monitoring. On these slopes, as well as on roadside, various species of plants are grown to provide a green driving environment. Below the road surface are bridge structures, drainage system, culverts, pedestrian underpasses and footbridges.

In order to provide a pleasant driving environment for our patrons, our routine works also include regular road sweeping, tunnel wall washing, repaint of road marking, cleaning of lighting and traffic signs, etc.
