The programme aims to eliminate bottlenecks identified in the 2006 Local Governments Roads Inventory and Condition Survey. The survey identified areas of poor road alignment, inferior pavement conditions as well as areas which required maintenance across 58,000km of rural roads. SMEC’s services are to be delivered in two phases.
