The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads is the statutory responsibility of each local authority in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. While my Department provides grant support to assist local authorities with the maintenance and renewal of regional and local roads, a grant programme for the provision of road underpasses is not under consideration.
