Subject: Official Information request - National numbers of sealed road
network

 

Dear Ministry of Transport,

 

Based on following Ashburton district Mayor Neil Brown comments
paraphrased;

 

'District (Ashburton) has 1500 km of sealed road network, and last year we
replaced 8-10 km of new road, doing the equation, it is 150 years to
replace all roads, when roads have timespan of 25 years. Even if road last
40 years, we still need to be doing 37km a year.'

 

My question to Ministry of Transport:

What is the total km of sealed road network in Aotearoa?

How many km of road are being replaced per year?

 

What is the funding gap between current expenditure by the Government
(including National's $500 million funding promise), and actual budget
required to sustainable replace all roads in NZ over the lifespan of 25
and 40 years of the road.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Cyclist fan
