Construction of roads and motorways
What this code covers
Use this class for construction of roads and motorways when the main activity includes Construction of motorways, streets, roads, other vehicular and pedestrian ways and Surface work (e.g. paving of roads, motorways or bridges with asphalt, concrete, stone). Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Official NACE Rev. 2.1 labels and explanatory notes are imported from the source dataset. Plain-language explanations are shown separately so readers can compare interpretation with the source text.
No child codes; this is a class-level code.
- construction of motorways, streets, roads, other vehicular and pedestrian ways
- surface work (e.g. paving of roads, motorways or bridges with asphalt, concrete, stone)
- construction of airfield runways
- construction of rough, unpaved mountain bike pathways or trails
- installation of street lighting and electrical signals, see 43.21
- road painting and other marking of streets, see 43.50
- installation of crash barriers, traffic signs, etc., see 43.50
- project management for construction, see 71.1
- Compare with 43.21, 43.50, 71.1 when the main activity overlaps another code.
- Check national equivalent caveats before using this code for local registration or filing workflows.
- If the main revenue activity appears in an exclusion, compare the alternative code before deciding.

What is NACE 42.11 used for?
Use NACE 42.11 for construction of roads and motorways when the main activity matches this scope: Use this class for construction of roads and motorways when the main activity includes Construction of motorways, streets, roads, other vehicular and pedestrian ways and Surface work (e.g. paving of roads, motorways or bridges with asphalt, concrete, stone). Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 42.11?
Typical examples include Construction of motorways, streets, roads, other vehicular and pedestrian ways, Surface work (e.g. paving of roads, motorways or bridges with asphalt, concrete, stone), and Construction of airfield runways.
When might 42.11 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to installation of street lighting and electrical signals, see 43.21 and road painting and other marking of streets, see 43.50.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 42.11?
Compare 42.11 with 43.21 Electrical installation, 43.50 Specialised construction activities in civil engineering, and 71.1 Architectural and engineering activities and related technical consultancy when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for electrical installation when the main activity includes Installation of: and Electrical wiring and fittings. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for specialised construction activities in civil engineering when the main activity includes Construction activities specialising in one aspect common in civil engineering, requiring specialised skill or equipment: and Construction of foundations for civil engineering, including piledriving. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for architectural and engineering activities and related technical consultancy when the main activity includes Architectural activities and Engineering activities and related technical consultancy. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for engineering activities and related technical consultancy when the main activity includes Engineering design (i.e. applying physical laws and principles of engineering in the design of machines, materials, instruments, structures, processes and systems) and consulting activities for: and Machinery, industrial processes and industrial plant. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for construction of railways and underground railways when the main activity includes Construction of railways, underground railways and subways and Construction of electricity overhead lines and conductor rails for railways. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for construction of bridges and tunnels when the main activity includes Construction of bridges (e.g. for elevated motorways and railways) and Construction of tunnels, including those for motorways and railways. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for the broader activity area of construction of roads and railways, including Construction of roads and motorways, Construction of railways and underground railways, and Construction of bridges and tunnels. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Rev. 2 code 42.11 can map to more than one Rev. 2.1 class: 42.11 Construction of roads and motorways, 43.50 Specialised construction activities in civil engineering.

Datasets, CRM segments, KYC rules, reporting logic, and historical joins may need review because the activity scope is not a simple unchanged carry-over.
Review the official explanatory notes for each target code and confirm whether the business activity still fits the suggested Rev. 2.1 class.
