Construction and maintenance
Safe and punctual travel is only possible when there are no potholes in the roads, the railway switches and signal lights function properly and the rivers/canals are sufficiently deep. In the past, too little was invested in the maintenance of roads, rails and waterways. This has resulted in more frequent congestion on the roads and damage from loose chippings, shippers being unable to continue their journey due to faulty bridges/locks and train passenger delays due to defective overhead wires, signs and switches. For this reason, the ministry has given top priority to maintenance. The file below present information about what the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment does.
