Our work programmes

We are responsible for maintenance and improvements of highway assets across the borough.

We identify and prioritise what maintenance, repair and improvement work will be undertaken on an annual basis, in line with our highway asset management approach (PDF, 2.31MB). We are currently managing a number of demands on our highway maintenance budget and regularly prioritise works that are required across the borough. Choices do need to be made about which roads are treated and when, based on condition surveys and other factors.

We routinely carry out inspections and undertake works programmes to maintain and improve our highways. These include:

• Road patching, resurfacing and surface treatments
• Footway improvements
• Drainage and flooding improvements
• Street lighting
• Traffic signals and active travel improvements
• Highway bridges, structures and Chester City Walls
• Road markings and road signage

We aim to update this information on a regular basis as changes may be made due to some of our works programmes being weather dependent.
