This is part of a restructure to ensure the development and maintenance of roads are coordinated in an organised manner and the duplication of roles are done away with.
Works Minister, Michael Nali, said the repealing of the legislation and restructuring will ultimately conclude by the end of 2019.
In the meantime, arrangements have been made for the Department of Works, Provincial and District Development Authorities (DDAs) to share responsibility of roads throughout the country.
