Other TV 2 motorists spoke to share the truck driver’s perception.
– All the asphalt is positive, but the need is so great that more should have been done. There are too many tracks on the road and with all the rain we have there is a danger of water planning, says Rolf Håberg.
– Our road network is starting to get poor, so it’s great that they are adding new asphalt, says Jarle Svensli.
billion remain
This year 650 kilometers of new asphalt will be laid on Norway’s European and national roads. This means that 6 percent of major roads this year will receive a new premium tire.
– We should have added more asphalt, admits Thor Asbjørn Lunaas, head of asphalt at the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.
Although 92 percent of the national road network meets the requirements of the tire standards, there is a rapid backlog when the asphalt is not obtained as much as desired. The Highway Administration should have had an additional 250 million this year.
– This will cause the condition of the tire to deteriorate. If this continues for years, it becomes noticeable to road users and could lead to worse traffic safety. It will also make maintenance work more demanding and
It will be more difficult to raise the condition to an acceptable level again, Lunaas tells TV 2.
Back on the muddy county highway in Nordland, there will be a temperature when the manager of the county township road operations section, Lars Petter Kaski, comes to Ljønes to be interviewed on TV 2.
Bjerkli Jacobsen is quick to express his sincere opinion on the road standard.
Lack of money
– Why do you choose to prioritize laying new asphalt on roads that have old asphalt instead of taking roads that cannot be traveled? Let’s wait another 20 years, Bjerkli Jacobsen froze and continued:
– You may have to wait a little longer, says Lars Petter Kaski, operations section manager at the Nordland County Council.
It is always difficult to get when you work on the road. There are no exceptions this afternoon either.
– We do the best we can with the frames we have, says Kaski.
He admits that there is no good enough standard on the county road. National maintenance on the county’s road network has an accumulation of around 62 billion. Nordland County Township only lacks 9 billion for the road network to be in a
Satisfactory condition.
Kaski has 150 kilometers of unpaved county roads in Nordland.
– We have a great capacity to make improvements to the roads, but the money is missing, admits Kaski.
Some improvements to the 7486 county road need to be made, but what and when you don’t know. The asphalt won’t be there for a while.
– We wait for asphalt every year, but it looks bad, says Solrun Bjerkli Jackobsen.
Based on individual county figures, approx. 2,400 kilometers of new asphalt totaling 44,700 kilometers of county roads in Norway:
Rogaland: 1250 km, Viken / Oslo: 250 km, Inland: 200 km, Trøndelag: 160 km, Agder: 131 km, Møre og Romsdal 100 km, Nordland: 100 km, Troms and Finnmark: 84 km, Westland: 72 km, Vestfold and Telemark: 59 km.
