One fifth of local roads 'undriveable' in five years

摘要

AE: AN astonishing 18 per cent of roads in England and Wales will be undriveable in five years' time, unless billions of pounds of investment is made, according to a new report. The Asphalt Industry Alliance's (AIA) Annual Local Authority Road Maintenance (ALARM) survey suggests that one in five roads - equivalent to 37,000 miles - are in such poor condition that they have less than five years of life left in them.
