The increase in rebuilding may be an effect of supplementary government grants for these activities.

Eight-two kilometres of new whole year forest roads and summer roads were built; a decrease of 10 kilometres from 2012.

Total costs for construction and reconstruction of forest roads amounted to NOK 178 million in 2013. Government subsidies accounted for NOK 63 million of the costs. The average expenditure was NOK 371 per metre of whole year roads and summer roads, and NOK 124 per metre of winter roads and tractor roads. In total, 195 kilometres of new winter roads and tractor roads were built and 58 kilometres were rebuilt in 2013.

Extensive forest road network

Although there is little construction of new forest roads, the total length of such roads in Norway is extensive. A total of 48 300 kilometres of whole year roads and summer roads were registered as per 1 January 2013. In comparison, the total length of public roads in Norway is 94 000 kilometres.
