Road maintenance is work that takes place on various roads.
These roads could be motorways or smaller, backroad paths.
This work is undertaken to ensure that these roads – whatever kind of road they are – remain strong, safe and efficient.
Road maintenance takes many forms, from simple pothole repair, which can be done in less than an hour, to re-applying highway surfacing for an entire motorway.
Whatever the job, the overarching aim of this work is to keep road users safe, manage traffic and maintain upkeep.
This ensures that the road can continue to function efficiently for as long as possible.
