A further £400,000 is to be ploughed into repairing North Ayrshire's roads this year.
The council has increased its investment as part of a wide-ranging programme of improvement works.
A total of £38.1 million will be spent on the region's roads over the next decade with that figure having been boosted earlier this year by an additional £15.6m.
At a cabinet meeting this week, the further six-figure spend was approved which means £5.6m is being invested into roads and footways maintenance this year.
Councillor Jim Montgomerie, cabinet member for Green New Deal and sustainability, said: “Roads condition is a national issue and we know that our residents want us to invest in areas they care about, such as improving the condition of the roads network.
“That’s why our roads maintenance investment programme has been increased by almost 25 per cent this year to take total investment to £5.6m to help make a tangible improvement to road and footway condition.”
A council spokesman added: "While the majority of roads in North Ayrshire are the responsibility of the council, we have no responsibility for the maintenance of the trunk road network which falls to Transport Scotland and their management contractor, Amey.
"The trunk road network includes the A78, the A737 from Kilwinning to the Renfrewshire boundary and the A738 from the Pennyburn roundabout to the A737 Dalry Road, Kilwinning."
