Projects & Improvements

The objective of TII's capital expenditure programme is to improve the safety and efficiency of the national road network to make it fit-for-purpose for freight, business and social travel.

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 to business and individuals of travel.
  • Facilitate regional development, tourism and business investments.
  • Improve environmental conditions by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Remove traffic congestion from 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 the funding situation permits, and has brought a number of schemes through the planning process so as to be ready to build once funding is 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 are multiples of their costs.

 

Public Private Partnerships

TII, in accordance with successive Government Development Plans, has implemented a number of network improvement projects utilising PPP, e.g. Motorway schemes.

Enhancing Motorway Operation Services (eMOS) Programme

The eMOS programme is designed to safeguard the safety, resilience and sustainability of the motorway network.
