Precise Inspection and 24-hour System Maintenance Road Cleaning Operations Maintenance and Management

Inspection is the key to maintaining the Metropolitan Expressway. By Several thousands of tons of waste, dirt, and sand are removed from performing inspections, damage to structures can be detected early the Metropolitan Expressway annually. Even a single empty can left on and decisions to make repairs can be made based on inspection on a road may cause a major accident. To ensure the safety of all results. It would be unacceptable if the expressway facility functions drivers on all routes, regular cleaning operations are performed on that allow smooth operation were to stop. We monitor and maintain road surfaces throughout the Metropolitan Expressway as well as our various systems around the clock, including traffic control, facility parking areas and other road facilities to support the more reassuring control, toll collection, tunnel disaster prevention, and multifunctional and satisfying use of those infrastructures. communications systems, in order to maintain proper functioning on all of our expressways.
