We maintain over 2,900 kilometres of pavement and 548 kilometres of cycle network across the county on behalf of our communities.
The information here provides details on the planned repairs to pavements and cycle routes across the county.
The scale and type of work will vary depending on the scheme and the repair being undertaken.

Most of our work will be delivered either under a full road closure or local traffic management system, such as traffic lights or give and take. This will cause disruption to the road network while we are on site. We will keep disruption to a minimum and we appreciate your cooperation during these critical works.
As well as the large-scale work on improving pavements and cycle paths, planned in advance, we also continually do reactive repairs to paths and cycle routes across the whole county. These include minor repairs and patching work, which is carried out on defects that we spot through routine inspection or if an issue has been reported by a member of the public. This helps keep our network of pavements and cycle routes smooth and in good condition for everyone.
Planned work by district
Updates are provided monthly by officers. Expand the district to see details of when and where the work will take place, and details of road closures and diversion routes.
Whilst we aim to be as accurate as possible with the below times and dates, there are instances where these may change at short notice.

FAQ
Please read through our frequently asked questions. If you are unable to find the answer please contact us.
The work area is the section of the road where our operatives will be working. The road closure area often extends beyond this to manage through traffic and divert it on to an alternative route. This helps us do the work quickly and efficiently, while keeping residents, road users and the workforce safe.
If you receive information notifying you about a road closure, we will include a map which indicates both the work and road closure areas if these are different.
As the work involves heavy plant and equipment, we cannot guarantee you will be able to access your property without having to wait or access via the other end of the works.
If you normally drive into or out of the work area during the hours when the closure is in place, we may ask you to please make alternative arrangements.
We will often phase works to try to reduce the disruption this can cause, and the site team will be available to communicate with residents and businesses regarding this.
We will always maintain access to properties if it is safe to do so. Delays will sometimes be unavoidable when we must move machinery or equipment out of the way. We thank you for your patience and cooperation while this is done.
Work is phased to allow property access from at least one end of the road. Access may differ, depending on where we are working.
We place advance warning signs at the starting points of our works at least 14 days before the work starts.
We will inform residents and businesses which are located with the area of work, via letter or leaflet drop, at least 14 days in advance of work starting, wherever possible.
We try to keep noise to a minimum, and plan noisier working activities for earlier on in shifts where we are working at night in residential areas. However, the work is being delivered using heavy plant and machinery and this will cause noise and disruption whilst the work is on site, especially where we are working overnight. To try to limit this we:
- Consider alternative ways of working, for example during the day, instead of night, when working in residential areas at the weekend.
- Working reduced hours overnight. This approach often means a longer delivery programme, whereas working longer shifts will result in the work being completed quicker.
- Working during the day whenever we can to reduce costs and disruption to residents during unsociable hours.
Slurry Seal is a low-cost, preventative maintenance process, designed to seal in the surface of a structurally sound pavement and extend its life. It fills in minor depressions and voids and provides a more even surface, improving the quality of slip resistance.
Slurry is a mixture of bitumen emulsion, aggregate and water. We spread it over the existing footway and brush it to give a textured finish. Before laying, we may have to prepare the existing surface by cleaning, weed spraying, minimal patching and raising ironwork.
Although a quick process, the surface remains wet for several hours following treatment so we close the pavement until it dries.
As with all thin coat surfacing, this process is weather and temperature dependent. We can’t lay the slurry if the weather is wet or too hot or too cold.
This treatment type isn't suitable for use on a pavement that isn’t in a structurally acceptable condition and doesn’t add strength.
Give and take traffic management involves closing one side of a road and allowing traffic to pass in single file. Drivers decide when it is safe to pass.
This method is suitable for roads with speed limits of 30 mph or less and low traffic levels.
