Highways Department


Highways Department is a government agency under the Transport and Logistics Bureau of the Government of Hong Kong. It is responsible for developing Hong Kong's road and railway network as well as road maintenance.

History

The department was previously an office within the former Civil Engineering Department and became an independent department on 1June 1986 due to the increasingly complex road network in Hong Kong.
In 2024, it launched street signs with a new font to "infuse a strong cultural atmosphere into the community's landscape" to support the government's Task Force on District Governance, with the new font drawing criticism.
