Local Road Maintenance Contracts – could your business benefit?

Local road maintenance contracts are expected to be announced as the government announces a prolonged £100 million investment into local road conditions.

“As the country begins the recovery from COVID-19, we need to get on the front foot and invest in infrastructure in every region to reignite the economy, helping better connect people with opportunities in the future.  

“By investing £100 million in local roads and reaffirming our commitment to better connecting communities, we are not just talking about levelling up – but making it happen. – Grant Shapps, Transport Secretary.

The projects

A total of 29 projects will benefit from the investment. These projects will range from fixing deteriorating road surfaces to flood mitigation works and bridge repairs. The aim of the projects is to make a long-lasting improvement to the quality of local highways throughout the UK.

High-quality road surfaces lie at the heart of the public’s ability to travel for both work and leisure. By making these improvements, the aim is to encourage the economic boost needed to help the UK recover from the COVID pandemic.

The listed projects include some of the UK’s most important A-roads, stretching from the A58 in Bolton to the A38 in Somerset.

You can expect to see local road maintenance contracts for;

  • The repair of two bridges in Sandwell;
  • Key routes in Liverpool;
  • Swanswell Viaduct;
  • Tadcaster Road, York;
  • Footpaths in Sheffield
  • And the A15.
