Plans, projects and improvements

The asset management strategy, our annual maintenance and road surface dressing programme, road resurfacing schemes, the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Project, repairing potholes, bridges and structures, managing roadworks, and A592 safety improvements.

Road resurfacing schemes

This year, we are investing £7.5 million in our carriageway resurfacing. A specialist contractor, Heidelberg Materials, will manage and deliver the works. 

As a part of the programme, 59 roads will receive a new road surface between April 2025 and March 2026. We may revisit the plan and roads scheduled, to allow for emergency works where needed.
