LTA checks and maintains public roads and road facilities regularly to keep them safe for motorists, commuters and pedestrians. It maintains approximately 8,355 lane-km of public roads including expressways, major roads and minor roads.
Maintenance deals with all aspects of the physical conditions of the road network, including the carriageways, footpaths, streetlights, bus shelters, signages, pedestrian overhead bridges and other structures. Between April 2003 and March 2004, LTA resurfaced 1.3 million square metres of roads and upgraded 60km of footpaths. Other maintenance work includes road resurfacing, cleaning of bus shelters and traffic signs, painting of railings and repairing damages to the roads and facilities. Once defects are spotted, they are fixed promptly. For example, potholes are fixed within an average of 24 hours after they are spotted. Illegal advertisements and obstructions along public roads are also removed to preserve the quality and safety of our streets. You can help to maintain the quality of public roads and facilities by giving feedback on their defects. Please call the LTA Customer Service Line at 1800-CALL LTA (1800-2255 582) or send your message through the Online Feedback. |
