Overview
- The share of state roads in the worst condition fell to 23.2% in 2025 from 27% in 2021, as the best category increased to 39% from 32.6%.
- Transport Minister Claus Ruhe Madsen presented a revised 2023–2027 preservation program because not all planned measures can be carried out.
- The ministry will favor lower-cost resurfacing to postpone full-depth rebuilds, which means some heavily deteriorated sections will remain that way longer.
- On-the-ground inspections indicate many roads are in poorer shape than previously expected, complicating priorities and timelines.
- The state manages nearly 3,600 kilometers of roads with about €95 million annually for roads and bicycle paths, constraining how many projects can move forward.
