SURFACED NETWORK
CONDITION
17
SURFACED NETWORK
CONDITION CONT’D
• 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.
18
GRAVEL NETWORK
CONDITION
19
GRAVEL NETWORK
CONDITION CONT’D
• 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.
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.

Routine Road Maintenance
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.
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.
