INEPT. This is the only way I can describe the Highways Department after Monday night's journey home. Once again, the flyover near the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club was being resurfaced. Motorists travelling along this way did so without any prior warning and found themselves (with buses) having to detour around the block and double back to Gloucester Road. I would have thought that the Highways Department could have organised at least some sort of system to warn drivers or carried out the work on a Sunday, but perhaps this was beyond common-sense. Would the Highways Department like to explain why resurfacing was being done on, what normally is a very busy flyover, at approximately 9.30pm and why it was felt that there was no need to warn motorists of the road closure?
