Roads—duplication costs
(Question No 1600)

Ms Lawder asked the Minister for Transport and City Services, upon notice, on 3 August 2018:

(1) Over the last 5 years how long does it take to duplicate 1km of road in the ACT on average.

(2) How does this compare with other states.

(3) How much does it cost to duplicate 1km of road in the ACT on average.

(4) How does this compare with other states.

Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) There are many factors that contribute to the length of time it takes to complete road duplications in the ACT. Various factors that differ from project to project can affect project duration and cost, including site access, the location of services, ground conditions, total project length and weather. As the length taken to duplicate roadways is subject to various factors and not a figure of practical use in the conduct of road duplications, it’s not a measure calculated by the ACT Government. The ACT Government is unaware of any other state calculating that measure.

(2) The ACT Government is unaware of any other state calculating that measure. As the design and construction of road duplications is governed by national, ACT and NSW Roads and Maritime Services standards, the ACT Government expects the length of time to complete road duplications in the ACT is comparable to other states.

(3) Please see answer to Question 1.

(4) Please see answer to Question 2.
