Bridges and highway structures

Maintenance

We regularly maintain our bridges and highway structures.

  • Minor or routine maintenance includes repainting, renewing mortar joints, re-waterproofing, replacing bridge bearings and removing vegetation.
  • Major repairs or reconstruction is required due to general deterioration, increasing age, changing use of the structure or change in assessment standards. This work may include extensive concrete and masonry repairs, re-decking, strengthening, widening or even replacing the entire structure.
  • Heritage bridges are classed as listed buildings. There are several within the borough. Any maintenance must not significantly change its appearance.
