Highway improvement programme

Every year we undertake an annual capital programme to maintain carriageway (including cycleways) and footway / pavement surfaces throughout Trafford.

Works are identified for the annual programme based on a priority ranking system. This is in accordance with our Highways Infrastructure Asset Management Plan (HIAMP).

Properties and businesses potentially impacted by any schemes will receive relevant communication for all schemes in advance of works commencing.

Types of improvements

There are several different methods used to improve highways in Trafford. The selection of method depends on the condition of the carriageway or footway. These methods include, but are not limited to:

Surface (or preventative) treatment – material is laid over the top of the old highway surface It can extend the life of the road by up to 10 to 15 years and protects the structure from water ingress.
Resurfacing – some or all of the existing surface of the highway is removed and replaced by a new surface layer.
Reconstruction – some or all of the material below the surface of the highway is replaced to re-establish structural integrity. Resurfacing also takes place.

We may also carry out more localised patching schemes in addition to those schemes listed.
