Beschreibung:
After more than 35 years of construction, the Austrian rural road network is almost completed. The construction of new roads will decrease within the next decade due to finalization of the development plans. Thus, the maintenance of the rural road network has been the major task for the last 10 years, and will continue to be important. An overview of the organization of the maintenance plans in the different provinces and of the financing is provided. As no federal funds are available for maintenance costs—unlike the case with new construction—only small contributions from provinces are possible, while the road owners and communities cover the majority of costs. This requires the most cost-effective maintenance methods and a lean organization for performing maintenance, like district or province maintenance associations. Research for the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has provided a practical model for the systematic maintenance of rural roads. Thus, a technical basis for systematic pavement management for rural roads is already available, including all steps for inventory, condition rating, maintenance-method choice, and prioritization.
