Carriageway Maintenance

 |  |  | | |
Road repairs are undertaken to extend the residual life of the network and improve riding quality.
There are 492 miles of roads, together with pavements (footways) and paved pedestrian areas on the Island that we try to ensure are properly maintained and safe to use. These include defect inspections by resident inspectors at set intervals, as well as mechanised surveys that help to establish structural and surface condition of the roads.
Every year a programme is drawn up of major repairs based on the views of County, Town and Parish Councillors, along with community views and reports from Highway Inspectors.
Priority is give to those roads that are in urgent need of repair, and have the most use.
