Capital maintenance programme

Capital maintenance is long-term, planned and high value work. It includes:

• Structural road maintenance

• Non-structural road maintenance, including surface dressing, micro asphalt and pre-patching roads

• Structural footway maintenance, including reconstructing footways

• Drainage projects, including upgrading existing assets

• Repairs to structures, including bridges

• Upgrading traffic lights / junctions

• Public Rights of Way, including maintaining and surfacing existing rights of way

• Upgrading signs and road markings

• Grass cutting, countywide verge cutting and weed spraying

The published programme is for 2025-26 and this work is now being delivered. There is more work planned during the year. We are adding more schemes as and when they are confirmed.

Please keep checking back to see schemes planned for your area and when they will be delivered.

Over the next two years, we are putting an additional £43 million into highways. This is the biggest multi-year investment for over a decade. 73% of residents have told us they are dissatisfied with the deterioration in the state of many of Cambridgeshire’s roads and footpaths. We’ve listened and we’re making record investment.

This means we're now able to start tackling the repair backlog and begin getting our network into better shape, delivering safer and more sustainable journeys for everyone in Cambridgeshire.

We know that even record levels of investment won’t fix all the problems. But we are determined to tackle the challenge and give our residents the safe, smooth roads, pathways and cycleways they deserve.
