The annual road paving and repair season begins soon. It follows a winter of sharp temperature fluctuations that took a toll on the nation's roads.
Some paving work begins in late April, weather permitting, but most projects will not get underway until May.
The volume of roadwork will be down by nearly 40 percent compared to last year. About 2,500 kilometres of new pavement will be laid, compared to some 4,000 kilometres last year.
