Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer says it will take well over £120 million to repair all the Island's roads - but he can't be sure about the total figure.
He was quizzed about his department's road monitoring programme by North Douglas MHK David Ashford in the House of Keys this week.
Mr Harmer said budgets were tight and the department couldn't carry out as much maintenance and repair work as he'd like.
Mr Ashford said the last estimate five years ago was that it would take £120 million to fix every problem - Mr Harmer agreed:
MEDS phone line to be down temporarily
Committee to examine link between poverty and poor academic performance
Police advice for trick-or-treaters to stay safe
How will Manx Care reduce the number of negligence claims?
Manx Language Festival to be held next week
Manxman sailings in doubt from tomorrow
Car falls down steep bank on Mountain Road
Panic over - Mcdonald's reopens at 11am tomorrow
