These works are essential to making journeys safe and convenient, whether that's using public transport, your own vehicle, or travelling by bike or on foot.

There can be lots of reasons for road works like resurfacing, making repairs, improving layouts, and replacing traffic signage and markings. We support other organisations to carry out essential works too, for example utilities companies and developers.

We only close a road or a lane if we must. Sometimes a road is closed for emergency works, or something has, or is happening that makes it unsafe for vehicles or pedestrians to use.

Whatever the reason, we aim to work as quickly and quietly as it is safe to do so to minimise the disruption to travellers and neighbouring properties.
