Road maintenance is work that takes place on roads from motorways to unclassified roads to ensure they remain strong, safe and efficient. Road maintenance takes many forms, but the overarching aim is to keep road users safe, manage traffic and maintain upkeep.
Road maintenance can include:
Pothole repair
Road resurfacing
Pavement resurfacing
Road maintenance also extends to the repair and unblocking of gullies or drains in a road, replacement of grid and manhole covers, replacement and repair of road signs or street names, and maintenance of green spaces (such as hedge cutting and weeding).
