Each year, the council develops a planned maintenance programme of works to improve the city’s highways and footways to help futureproof the network.
Funded by the Department for Transport and the council, the highways capital programme for 2025/2026 proposes to deliver 15 major highway schemes across the city.
In total, these schemes will see 5km of Hull’s roads improved, with the schemes consisting of either full reconstruction of the carriageway or resurfacing, depending on the condition of the road, as well as repairs to kerbing and repainted lining.
The works are delivered on the council’s behalf by local civil engineering companies - supporting jobs in the construction industry as well as the benefitting the local economy through the supply chain.
The schemes planned for 2025/2026 will cover all categories of roads in the city and are determined through a risk-based approach.
In addition to the major schemes, the council also undertakes annual proactive maintenance through its surface dressing and micro-surfacing programmes, which will see 84,000m2 of highway protected.
The highways capital programme for 2025/2026 will see an investment of £3.1million in carriageway works, £1.3 million in reactive maintenance for repairing defects and potholes and £1.5 million for footways.
