Over 200 road improvement schemes are lined up for Central Bedfordshire this year

Date Added: 24/08/2022

We have released our Highways Annual Plan for 2022/23 which includes over 200 road improvement schemes across Central Bedfordshire.

The schemes include road surfacing enhancements, pavement maintenance, drainage schemes, street lighting upgrades, and bridge works.

Over 40 schemes relate to road safety improvements, including speed reduction, traffic calming measures, and the provision of disabled parking bays.

We prioritised the schemes by looking at the condition of the road, pavement, or other highways asset, the repair history, the type of road, and the local infrastructure it supports such as emergency services, critical utilities, public transport facilities, education providers, town centres, visitor attractions, innovation centres and employment hubs.

In total, our Highways service is responsible for keeping over 1,400km of roads safe. This includes maintaining the road surface and looking after more than 220 bridges and structures, over 23,000 streetlights, and around 50,000 drainage gullies.

As well as carrying out the planned schemes, we'll continue to carry out reactive repairs for issues reported online via FixMyStreet or identified through our regular inspection routes.

In 2021/22, we repaired 1,899 potholes, cleaned 14,000 gullies, and fixed more than 1,600 streetlights. The 2022/23 Annual Plan can be viewed on our website.
