Derbyshires Dual Carriageways Annual Maintenance Dates
Derbyshire County Council are to carry out their annual maintenance on the county’s dual carriageways, starting from early July.
Derbyshire County Council are to carry out their annual maintenance on the county’s dual carriageways, starting from early July.
Each summer the county council, coordinating works at the same time with local district and borough councils, carry out a maintenance programme on all the dual carriageways in the county.
The work includes cutting the grass on the central reservations and at the sides of the roads, emptying the gullies and drains, carrying out some road repairs where needed and any other bits of maintenance work that needs carrying out. We do reactive work throughout the year on these roads but this is just the annual bigger maintenance.
The district and borough councils will be picking up litter at the side of the road or in the central reservation at the same time while the traffic management is in place.
The council has worked to try to avoid key times and events, such as football matches, and signs are being put out on the roads ahead of the dates to give drivers advance notice of the work.
