1.000 delegates to gather in Lisbon Example from Germany Leverkusen Bridge (A1) High volume of traffic (chemical industry) Ageing structure – lack of regular maintenance Closure from Dec. 2012 to March 2013 for lorries over 3,5 Tons Estimated societal cost (loss of time and additional fuel consumption): 80 M € ! Closed again from June 2014 until…? n European Union Road Federation 5

1.000 delegates to gather in Lisbon The 3 financing approaches n European Union Road Federation 7

1.000 delegates to gather in Lisbon 1. Traditional approach From year to year Money spent when available, not when needed No spending optimisation Deterioration, increased safety risks, environmental and societal consequences European Union Road Federation 8

1.000 delegates to gather in Lisbon 2. Preventive approach More cost-efficient Preserving good quality road network Optimisation in the longer run Regular actions, reduced costs, better standards European Union Road Federation 9

1.000 delegates to gather in Lisbon 3. The strategic approach (RAM) Considers the road as an asset Systematic and permanent process Cost-effective maintenance, upgrade and operation Combination of: Engineering principles Sound business practice Economic rationale Provide tools for: Organised and flexible approach Decision making process Achieve public’s expectations European Union Road Federation 10

2. THE IMPACT OF THE RECESSION ON ROAD BUDGETS Deterioration of the pavement condition Increasing maintenance cost Increasing cost for road users Safety issues Endangering the whole economy And we’ll save money Every $1 spent keeping a good road good saves $6 to $14 to rebuild one that has deteriorated The Eight Croatian Conference on Road Maintenance, 2014
