As a result of a £2 million investment, the road outside your property is programmed to benefit from surface dressing preparation ahead of the surface dressing at a later date. These works are programmed to take place between 08:00–17:00 from Tuesday 14th January – Monday 20th January 2025.
This length of road has been identified for such works following detailed and comprehensive surface and structural condition surveys that help us to objectively prioritise where we need to invest across Herefordshire’s highway network.
Surface dressing is an important part of our maintenance programme and helps to extend the life of an existing surface, reduce further deterioration of the road’s condition, improve the skid resistance of the road surface and seal the road against water preventing potholes forming in winter. Please visit https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/roads-1/herefordshire-road-investment/5 for more information regarding the surface dressing process.
Even though surface dressing is a quick and efficient process, it is weather dependent and cannot be carried out if the weather is too wet, too cold or too hot, so the programme may change at short notice.
Signs will be displayed on the road informing you of the intended dates of the works. Please ensure that you observe these signs and take note of the dates that are stated. If there are any changes to the programme of works in your road, we will make sure the signs are updated.
A fully signed diversion route will be displayed locally. We will do all we can to provide vehicular access to properties, although there may be times when we are not able to do so safely or there may be delays. You can get help and guidance from the dedicated marshals on site.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you, but we will do all that we can to minimise the impact of our work whilst this work is undertaken.
If you have any questions about these works then please call us on 01432 260555.
