The state’s road maintenance backlog has hit a massive $2.2 billion with cash-strapped councils admitting defeat in stopping crumbling local streets and roads from damaging cars and becoming potential deathtraps.

A new report from motoring body NRMA has revealed a 30 per cent jump in the backlog of pot-holed and deteriorating NSW roads requiring repairs since 2015.

THE ABOUT THE REPORT HERE.

The NRMA is asking us to dob in the worst roads in NSW.

It has launched a Rate My Road survey to help understand problem areas, figure out what needs work and which roads are dangerous.

More than 12,000 motorists had previously participated in the survey which helped achieve funding increases for the Pacific Hwy and the Princes Hwy.

NRMA CEO Rohan Lund said there was a growing backlog in infrastructure funds.

“We have seen the backlog grow to $2.2 billion, the scary thing is that’s up 14 per cent in the last year,” he said.

“We have seen a lot of improvements at the state level, but for local governments, that’s now a $1.7 billion gap.”
