PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Motorways: Repairs and Maintenance (26 October 2015)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department has taken to minimise the extent and length of road works on the motorway network at times when work is not taking place.

Asked by:
Bob Blackman (Conservative)

Answer

Highways England combine maintenance and improvement schemes to maximise activity within roadworks. However, lane closures are sometimes left in place through the day and then work undertaken overnight. Removing these completely each day would be time consuming and would delay projects and motorists for longer.
