Work continues on reactive road repairs across Buckinghamshire that resulted from the very wet winter, but during the warmer summer period, the council’s attention also turns to major planned works on Buckinghamshire roads such as full resurfacing schemes.

This summer sees a full range of capital improvement works, with over 320 schemes to be delivered, including larger resurfacing projects, major drainage improvements, footway works and road safety projects on specific sections of the highways. 

As part of Buckinghamshire Council’s rolling £110m investment in roads across the county over four years, work is taking place at the following locations through Buckinghamshire Highways' Strategic Highway Maintenance Programme.
