PROVINCIAL ROAD NETWORK

16

SURFACED NETWORK CONDITION

17

• The figure shows a continuously decreasing road infrastructure condition. Only 50% of the road networks is in acceptable condition.

• This is a concerning downward trend indicating that maintenance in the network is inadequate.

SURFACED NETWORK CONDITION CONT’D

18

GRAVEL NETWORK CONDITION

19

• The high percentage of gravel roads in poor condition points to considerable and high backlogs need for regravelling projects.

• The Province faces a challenge of sourcing suitable road construction gravel road construction material that can be used without modification.

GRAVEL NETWORK CONDITION CONT’D

20

Funding needed to maintain 50% level

condition of the surfaced roads network, is R1,2

billion per annum.

Funding required to improve the 50% level of

the surfaced roads network, is R2,0 billion per

annum.

Budgets are determined from condition and technical analysis

21

Current funding (S’hamba Sonke) to

the Department is R501 million and is

optimized by prioritizing projects from

the condition assessment based on this

Funding scenario.

PERIODIC BLADE: Roads should be bladed once every sixty

days. i.e. Six times a year The Department can only plan within

the current budget, blades 50% of the Gravel road network once a

year.

Frequency of blading is increased on reactive maintenance

as a result of wet Weather conditions, wherein important public

transport routes are prioritised.

REGRAVEL: The option to regravel the road is triggered when the

Gravel wearing course thickness is less than 30mm.

UPGRADE TO STANDARD PAVED ROAD: Traffic > 200

cars/day and Socio-economic merit, and when the cost of

regraveling becomes too expensive.

Routine Road Maintenance

26

In order to improve the functionality of the road network in the North West Province, the level of funding provided for maintenance should increase.

Even if the available funding is optimally distributed, as per the optimised MTEF funding scenario, the impact on the overall performance of the road network is minimal.

It is recommended that the level of preventive maintenance on paved roads is drastically increased to prevent a build-up of future rehabilitation needs with huge financial Implications.
