Introduction
The 20172018 Five Year Highway Improvement Plan maps out governments
approach to repairing and maintaining the provinces 23,000 kilometres of roads and
highways and 4,100 bridges. The plan outlines major highway and road projects,
repaving, major bridge replacements, capital maintenance and infrastructure work
the province plans to pursue year by year, over the next five years.
Sharing the specific plans for road improvement in the Five Year Highway
Improvement Plan gives private companies better opportunity to prepare for the more
than 150 upcoming highway improvement projects in coming fiscal year. It also helps
to inform Nova Scotians about the improvements being made in their communities.
Pavement Preservation
Unlike many other provinces, the Province of Nova Scotia is responsible for
maintaining the majority of all public roads in the province (90 per cent). The cost
per kilometre is over $300,000 to repave, $500,000 to $750,000 or more to upgrade
a trunk highway, and $3-5 million to twin a highway. While severely damaged roads
will continue to be addressed, a portion of our highway improvement budget will be
set aside to help improve paved roads before they become too damaged and need
more costly repairs. The approach is ensuring that funding is used more efficiently
and effectively. It is more sustainable in the long term.
Pavement Preservation is cost effective. Spending $1 on pavement preservation
before a paved road is 15 years old can eliminate or delay having to spend $6 to $14
on rehabilitation or reconstruction when the pavement surface has failed.
Preservation techniques can extend the life of asphalt, improve smoothness, reduce
potholes and decrease rutting and cracking. Roads stay smoother and safer at a much
lower cost than by allowing them to deteriorate to the point of needing full reconstruction.
Economic Impact
The road building industry in Nova Scotia is a large source of jobs, creating an
estimated 5,000 direct and 2,500 indirect positions every year. The annual payroll for
Nova Scotians employed in road building is approximately $300 million. For instance,
a typical $2 million paving contract generates about 60 direct jobs and about
$200,000 worth of business for the trucking industry and spin-off benefits for local
businesses that provide the associated construction materials, technical support
and supplies used by contractors.
The total highway capital budget for 20172018 is $215 million. Additional
operational funding for highway maintenance will be made available as part of the
20172018 budget.
Highway 104, Antigonish
Capital funding for highway construction and maintenance currently comes from
three sources:
1. Provincial Highway funding in Nova Scotia includes all revenues collected
through provincial gas taxes and registration of motor vehicles, as well as other
funding provided by the provincial government.
Every dollar from Registry of Motor Vehicle fees and the gas tax goes back into
provincial roads. Over the past 4 years, the province invested $332 million above
and beyond what was collected in RMV fees and gas tax. This year, the department
forecasts spending $32 million more than what was collected.
2. Federal Federal funding to support highway improvement projects will be
provided by the Building Canada Plan and the New Build Canada Fund. The province
will continue work with its Federal partners to take advantage of opportunities for
support where possible.
3. Municipal Municipalities contribute on cost-shared projects in their areas.
The department has also undertaken a comprehensive study and consultation on
the feasibility of using alternative funding models such as tolls to enhance the
highway system sooner. The province would only move forward with tolling if the
public indicates they want government to proceed.
How Capital Funding is Invested

Major Construction (new Highway and Bridges)
$65 million
Asphalt and Resurfacing
$101 million
Bridge Replacement/Rehabilitation
$32 million
Land Purchases
$7 million
Equipment, Machinery, Ferries
$8 million
Highway Design, Studies, Surveys

Total Funding:
$215 million
The following tables list major construction and asphalt paving projects on 100-series
highways, trunks and routes, plus major bridge replacements and rehabilitations for
the next five years. Local roads, pavement preservation and double chip resurfacing
are also included for 2017-18.
This plan can change, including project descriptions, as there are many steps to
maintaining and building roads and bridges and each step affects the next.
