Projects & Improvements

Road Network Improvements

Road network improvements offer many benefits to our safety and lives.

They help to:

• Save lives and reduce injuries

• Reduce the cost of travel for businesses and individuals

• Facilitate regional development, tourism and business investment

• Improve environmental conditions by reducing greenhouse gas emissions

• Alleviate traffic congestion in towns and villages throughout the country

Improvement Priorities

Excellent progress has been made on upgrading the national road network in recent years but much work is still required. The pace at which TII can improve the network is limited by the levels of funding made available:

The priorities for TII may be summarised as follows:

Asset Management, Network Rehabilitation and Network Operations

The first priority after existing commitments are fulfilled is to maintain the asset value, the reliability, and the functionality of the network.

National Secondary Roads Improvements, Bottleneck Improvement Projects, Safety Projects and Traffic Management Projects

TII is committed to implementing improvements as funding permits, and has progressed a number of schemes through the planning process to ensure readiness for construction once funding becomes available.

Network Improvement Projects

The investment in the national road network in recent years has vastly improved many of the busiest and most strategic national roads. These improvements have transformed the routes in question, and are delivering economic benefits that far exceed their costs.
