52 roads improved as part of Luton Council resurfacing programme
Over 113,000 square metres of Luton roads have been resurfaced or treated as part of a £7.2 million council programme.
Work has been carried out across 52 roads as part of Luton Council’s annual resurfacing programme, with further improvements planned over the coming weeks.
The council is working with highways contractor VolkerHighways to target roads most in need of repairs to improve road conditions, extend the life of Luton’s road network and reduce the need for more extensive repairs in the future.
Councillor Javeria Hussain, cabinet member for highways and sustainable development, said: “Our road network plays a vital role in keeping Luton moving. We’re dedicated to investing in our roads to help ensure residents can travel safely and reliably across the town.
“We’ve already completed a significant amount of work across Luton this year, with further treatments planned over the coming weeks.
“We know roadworks can cause some disruption while they are taking place, and we thank residents and road users for their patience.”
A further 83,280 square metres across 31 roads are due to be resurfaced or treated, with work continuing into October and early November.
Diversion routes will be put in place where required, and residents are being urged to allow extra time for their journeys.
The council’s full programme, including roads that have already been treated and those still due to be worked on, is available on its website.
