Prioritisation of Resurfacing of Concrete Trunk Roads with Quieter Materials

4. Final criteria adopted

The criteria that will be used to prioritise the resurfacing of concrete trunk road network are the Agency's three proposed criteria plus a new one that was put forward during the consultation:

  • minimising whole life cost, i.e. providing the right treatment at the right time with minimum disruption, and achieving value for money; we have a duty to protect the taxpayers' interest and wherever possible will try to programme works to fit in with maintenance needs;
  • dealing with the noisiest sites that affect the most people; this meant that we would endeavour to improve the situation for the maximum number of people who are closest to trunk roads in the earlier part of the programme;
  • minimising disruption to general public and users of the network; this meant that we would try to combine this work with other planned works on the network and use construction, procurement and traffic management methods that speed up the works;
  • giving priority to roads opened since June 1988 and are shown to be noisier than predicted at the time of their Public Inquiry.
