This Occasional Paper describes an economic assessment of rural arterial roads in Australia based on a road deficiency analysis. Benefit cost analysis was undertaken using the NIMPAC road planning model and an additional set of programs developed by the BTE to carry out economic evaluation. The principal objective of the analysis was to examine the economic returns from investment in rural arterial roads in different States and in different types of project construction work.
