The financial year of 2008-09 is the most recent period for which expenditure on major maintenance is available.
In that year the Highways Agency delivered some 2,000 projects within this programme which includes reconstruction, overlay, resurfacing of road pavement and maintenance of roadside assets. It also includes inspections, parapet and structural repair as well as technology and asset renewal.
Therefore, it is not practicable to release costs of each project. In 2008-09 spend on these projects totalled £589 million. In 2009-10 we estimated in our Business Plan planned spend of £800 million on major maintenance projects.
The 2010-11 plans are being finalised and spending in the following years is subject to the outcome of any future Spending Review.
The financial year of 2008-09 is the most recent period for which expenditure on routine maintenance is available.
It is not practicable to release costs of individual routine maintenance works as this comprises many hundreds of projects and much of this activity is paid for through lump sum-based contracts.
Routine maintenance includes vital elements of the Highways Agency’s maintenance regime to ensure it meets its statutory obligations. It includes activities such as gully emptying, accident damage repairs, cleaning signs, defect repairs, winter and technology maintenance.
In 2008-09 spend on routine maintenance totalled £325 million. In 2009-10 we estimated in our Business Plan planned spend of £300 million on routine maintenance.
The 2010-11 plans are being finalised and the following years are subject to the outcome of any future Spending Review.
Allocations for 2010-11 are currently being finalised and the future years are subject to the outcome of any future spending review.
