When streets are redesigned as Complete Streets, the transformation goes beyond footpaths, cycling lanes, and road surfaces. A major part of the redesign happens underground. In many cities, electrical lines, OFC cables, sewer lines, and water pipelines are placed beneath the road carriageway. This often leads to repeated digging whenever repairs or maintenance are needed, damaging roads and causing inconvenience. Under the Complete Streets approach, these utilities are systematically reorganized through dedicated underground ducts. This reduces repeated road cutting, improves maintenance access, saves public money, and creates more durable streets. Watch to understand how smarter underground planning can create better roads above ground.
