Essential road maintenance due to commence
Maintenance work on a number of Telford & Wrekin’s dual carriageways is set to begin next week from Monday, July 3.
It will include a series of full road closures – mainly overnight - during the next four weeks.
Work included within the annual scheme includes barrier repairs, carriageway repairs, road sweeping, gully cleaning and street light test and repairs as well as general tree and grass cutting.
It’s part of the Telford & Wrekin Council’s ‘Pride in our Community’ £21m two-year investment programme - designed to keep the borough moving and roads in good condition.
The yearly maintenance programme will be led by Balfour Beatty – the council’s highways contractor, together with grounds maintenance and street cleansing contractor Idverde as lighting contractor Prysmian.
Most dual carriageway maintenance works will be undertaken overnight under full road closures to minimise disruption.
Councillor Lee Carter (Lab), Telford & Wrekin Council's cabinet member for place (the economy & neighbourhood services) said: “This investment makes good on our commitment to residents to prioritise care of our roads, cycle ways and footpaths.
"We’ve carefully planned most of the work at night to minimise disruption and it’s part of an ongoing programme to maintain high standards in our network and continue to build on the success of coming top in a national survey for highways satisfaction last year.”
