ROAD MAINTENANCE
Preserving and keeping each type of roadway, roadside, structures as nearly as possible in
its original condition as constructed or as subsequently improved and the operation of highway
facilities and services to provide satisfactory and safe transportation, is called Road Maintenance
or maintenance of highways.
Road Maintenance Components
The various road maintenance
function includes:
1. Surface maintenance
2. Roadside and drainage maintenance
3. Shoulder and approaches maintenance
4. Snow and ice control
5. Bridges maintenance
6. Traffic service
Highway maintenance is closely
related to the quality of construction of
original road. Insufficient pavement or base
thickness or improper construction of these
elements soon results in expensive
patching or surface repair. Shoulder care
becomes a serious problem where narrow
lanes force heavy vehicle to travel with one
set of wheels off the pavement.
Improperly designed drainage
facilities, mean erosion or deposition of
material and costly cleaning operation or
other corrective measures. For regular
highways maintenance and repair sharp
ditches and steep slopes require manual
maintenance as compare to cheap repair of
flatter ditch and soil by machine.
