Ross-on-Wye Town Council help deliver road improvements thanks to investment from Herefordshire Council
5 October 2022
Roads in each of the county’s market towns are being resurfaced thanks to additional investment of £1.75m. Each of the market towns has £350k allocated for road resurfacing work and other safety improvement schemes, which are set to take place over the coming months.
The schemes will include resurfacing, patching, safety barrier improvements, structural and drainage improvements, vegetation clearance, and white line repair. Works have been competed in Ross-on-Wye with Purland, Springfield Road, Eastfield Road/Fernbank junction, Chapel Road/Tudor Street, Tudor Rise, Verschoyle Gardens, Roman Way all being resurfaced.
While the works in Ross-on-Wye were being undertaken concerns were raised over the condition of the carriageway in some areas and additional work by Balfour Beatty was required to address these concerns. This resulted in additional costs, meaning that some areas that had been due to be resurfaced were unable to be included.
