Road Grants

Grant Notification – usually in January.

Main Types:

Restoration Improvement Grant

Restoration Maintenance Grant

Discretionary Grant

Roads Programme

The allocation dictates what area/length of road can be strengthened / surface dressed.

There is never enough money and there are always too many roads, so roads have to be prioritised.

The PSCI (Pavement Surface Condition Index) is playing a greater role in this regard.

Summary PSCI well established in local authorities across

the country – close to 50% of network has been surveyed in the past year

Similar patterns in condition distribution by class to those recorded in previous National surveys

MapRoad and Mobile App enhancements make it suitable for National Survey (100% survey)

Training programme delivering certified PSCI surveyors on a large scale

Supplement results with sampled machine surveys and QA of PSCI results for full picture of condition
