Around 60 participants of the International Conference on Roads & Railways 2025, which concluded on June 13, visited today the works sites of the Central Kowloon Route (CKR) and the MTR Corporation Tung Chung Line Extension, respectively.
During the visit arranged by the conference’s organisers, the participants witnessed the achievements of Hong Kong’s transport infrastructure.
Co-organised by the Highways Department and the Institution of Highways & Transportation, the two-day conference attracted over 800 participants, bringing together global experts, scholars and industry leaders to share experiences and insights, and jointly lead Hong Kong’s transport infrastructure development to write a new chapter.
Ministry of Transport Research Institute of Highway Vice-President Wang Shuiyin, in his opening remarks and speech on the second day of the conference, inspired the participants to think about how to put smart and green road construction into practice.
In-depth discussions were then held on “Smart & Green Transport Infrastructure – Planning, Design & Construction” and “Green Solutions for Smart Transport Infrastructure”.
Students of relevant engineering subjects were invited to participate in the conference, which enabled them to understand the future development of transport infrastructure, as well as the breakthroughs in innovative technologies of the engineering sector.
In addition, arrangements will be made for young members from professional bodies and organisations to visit the CKR works site on June 21. They will have a closer look on how complex underground works were carried out in the urban areas with lots of buildings, dense population and high traffic flow under the project.
