Would anyone know what this word means? Is it a misspelling of 'wegens'? Or would it have to do with the word 'weg' in some other way? Thanks!

road / road system
"wegenis" is the wegenis in wegeniswerken (Google gives quite a few hits (4100) for wegenis as such)but can be used on its own. Very old word, probably only used in legal docs and in "wegeniswerken"

Sorry, it\'s roads (wegen in) in sector but not because of a typo. Just remembered our \'wegeniswerken...
