General
9.06 These three divisions, regionally located on Hong Kong Island, in Kowloon and in the New Territories are responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of the roads and associated sewerage and drainage systems.
9.07 The total number of major projects completed in the year numbered 47 with an aggregate value of $46 million and those in hand numbered 76 with an aggregate value of $233 million. Details and progress on some of these projects are described in paragraph 9.14 to 9.26.
Maintenance
9.08 With the rapid growth in car ownership, a substantial part of the Divisions' effort had to be devoted to the maintenance and improvement of the existing road network. Altogether 22.8 miles of road were resurfaced and 5.6 miles reconstructed. About $1.25 million was spent in repairing road damage and clearance of landslips caused by typhoons and rainstorms.
