Dual carriageways annual maintenance programme

Our annual programme of general housekeeping on some of the county's major roads, co-ordinating teams from across the highways service and local district councils, takes place during July and August.


Jobs carried out include:

  • grass cutting on the central reservation and at the sides of the roads
  • trimming back trees and shrubs to improve visibility
  • pothole repairs and laying new white lines
  • sweeping and emptying drains and gullies
  • street lighting repairs
  • installing or replacing new road signs and safety barriers

Local district and borough councils will be working with us to carry out litter picking along the roads.

The road closures are kept to a minimum to reduce traffic delays and congestion as much as possible. In a few circumstances, the road will be completely closed for public safety and to protect our maintenance teams.

Dates have been carefully selected to avoid key times and events, such as football matches, and advance warning signs are put out on the roads ahead of the dates to give drivers plenty of notice of the work.
