A new map shows the location of roads which are being resurfaced

Residents can now check whether roads in their area were among those resurfaced or treated through Hampshire County Council’s accelerated highways programme.

Around 29 schemes have been completed under the programme, while a further 154 patching projects have been carried out across Hampshire.

Separate figures released by the council show that 17,590 reactive defects, including potholes, were repaired between April and July this year.

More than 23.5km of road has also been improved through resurfacing and surface treatment works, according to newly released figures.

Residents can use the map below to see whether roads in their area were included in the accelerated highways programme.

Every road resurfaced in Hampshire through £15m highways fund - map

The programme was launched this summer following damage caused by winter weather, with the council bringing forward road maintenance works to take advantage of drier conditions.

The council says around £9 million of the £15 million fund has been spent so far, although the final figure is expected to be higher because not all completed work has been recorded yet.

Speaking at full council on October 1, highways cabinet member Cllr Steve Forster said the funding had enabled maintenance works to be carried out during the summer months, when conditions are more suitable for road repairs.

He said: “The £15 million funding enables highways maintenance activity across Hampshire.

“It has enabled additional resurfacing, surface treatment and larger patching works on roads that have suffered through last winter.

“By carrying out the work during the drier summer months, we have been able to preserve roads before they deteriorate further and help avoid more expensive repairs in the future.”

The council said further resurfacing, surface treatment and patching schemes remain scheduled as part of Hampshire’s wider highways maintenance programme.
