Roadworks update
21/12/2023
We continue to make big progress on road repairs across Buckinghamshire and have now completed over26,000 road repairs since our new Buckinghamshire Highways contract began on 1 April. These repairs are on top of our annual resurfacing programme.
We have 21 teams working on road repairs, including potholes, some round the clock, seven days a week. Alongside this we continue to roll out our programme of bigger improvement works, with over 200 larger resurfacing, drainage and road safety projects on specific sections of the highways.Since April, our projects have included cleaning almost 62,000 gullies, fixing 2850 streetlights and completing 12 grit runs.
As part of Buckinghamshire Council’s £105m investment in roads across the county over four years, work is taking place at the following locations through Buckinghamshire Highways' Strategic Highway Maintenance Programme.
The works are part of a rolling programme of countywide work and some activities are extremely weather dependent, therefore dates shown are subject to change at short notice. These dates may also be subject to change depending on the availability of materials and unforeseen circumstances out of our control. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.
