Service Description: In 2008, the Isle of Wight council learned that it was one of only three areas nationwide to qualify for a Highways Private Finance Initiative (PFI). The Isle of Wight Highways PFI Project will encompass all aspects of the highway that occurs between the fences – this includes the road surface, drainage, street lighting, kerbs, footways, grass verges, signs, bus shelters, etc. The PFI service is likely to last for 25 years, starting in 2013. It will include the entire Island’s adopted road network, encompassing the management and maintenance of 803kms of highways, 12,068 street lighting columns and a further 2,438 illuminated street furniture items.
