Private road maintenance subsidy system

To the private road maintenance system

This is a system to subsidize 9/10 of the construction cost when local people maintain pavements on private roads that cannot be made on public roads due to structural problems such as land relations and road width.
In addition, in maintenance work of lower slope (so-called cliff ground) of road, there are some restrictions about rate and scale to subsidize.
If you would like a detailed explanation, please contact the Public Works Office office.

Roads targeted for maintenance subsidies are used by a large number of citizens and meet the following conditions.
However, in principle, roads built by large-scale development, etc. may not be eligible, so please consult the counter.

1. It is a private road that is used as a road for local people to go to daily life, commuting, going to school, shopping, hospital, meeting place, etc. In addition, it applies when the road connecting to the private road is already paved.
2. On private roads that wish to be maintained, there are no underground buried objects that hinder pavement work, and the upper slope (so-called cliffs) in contact with the private road is protected to the extent that pavement work is not hindered. In addition, we assume that appropriate sewer pipe (public sewer) is complete in sewer treatment area.
3. Private roads that are maintained by the private road maintenance subsidy and maintenance system, and require redevelopment that has been approximately 10 years have passed are also eligible.

1. We support 9/10 of the construction cost required for pavement work. However, relocation work of underground buried objects (gas pipes other than drainage channels, water pipes, etc.) is not eligible for the subsidy.
2. Of the incidental work, we will support a half of the construction cost for the downhill surface (so-called cliff) maintenance work. In addition, the amount of subsidy per case is limited to 3 million yen.

There are the following types of pavement work depending on road conditions, but please consult with Public Works Office about the selection.

If you wish to maintain a private road, please be an applicant who selects a representative from the right holder of the private road site and the user of the private road and performs the subsidy procedure. This applicant will be responsible for compiling local opinions, negotiating with paving contractors, contracts, construction, etc.
