Road construction costs up 2.1 per cent

Road construction costs rose by 2.1 per cent from the first to the second quarter of this year. From the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007, total construction costs increased by 5.8 per cent, while material costs increased by 6.4 per cent.

Construction cost index for road constructions and Cost index for maintenance of roads. Percentage change from the same quarter the previous year

The construction costs of open-air roads increased by 2.4 per cent from the first to the second quarter. The costs of concrete bridges and rock tunnels increased by 2.2 and 1.1 per cent respectively in the same period.

The construction costs of concrete bridges have seen the largest increase over the last year and are now 8.4 per cent higher than in the second quarter of 2006. Most of the increase may be attributed to an increase in steel prices, which contributes to increased costs for bridge projects and concrete construction in general. The construction costs of open-air roads and rock tunnels have increased by 5.0 and 4.9 per cent respectively over the last year.

The maintenance costs of roads increased by 2.1 per cent from the first to the second quarter of 2007 and are now 4.5 per cent higher than one year ago.
