Saxony: Additional 60 million euros for road maintenance

Dresden (dpa / sn) - With 60 million euros, the government wants to finance around 50 additional measures to maintain the road network in Saxony. As part of the budget negotiations, a total of 60 million euros in additional funds for the maintenance of the state roads have already been secured for the upcoming double budget, the Ministry of Economics announced on Thursday in Dresden. In addition to the additional measures that have now been financed, the regular construction programs are also to be continued in 2023 and 2024.

The Chamber of Crafts in particular has campaigned for greater support for the construction industry, said Economics Minister Martin Dulig (SPD). "As a public client, it is also our responsibility to keep the economy running with orders." As a result, the order situation would remain stable and jobs would be preserved.
