Hertfordshire County Council has given the go-ahead to more than 1,100 highway schemes after councillors approved a £106m capital budget for highways and transport.

The projects will be delivered between April 2024 and March 2025, and will see improvements made to 3,200 miles of roads and pavements.

Repairs and maintenance to pavements, roads, bridges and traffic signals are all included, along with improvements such as tackling safety problems, reducing traffic congestion, and making walking and cycling more "practical and attractive options".

Cllr Phil Bibby, cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “We know that the condition of the county’s pavements, cycleways and roads really matters to our residents, and it matters to us too.

"While we can’t do everything, this work programme, along with the regular repairs we do, will make a real difference across the county.

"We want Hertfordshire to have the infrastructure that our communities need, and it is essential that we maintain and improve our pavements, cycleways and roads.

"Our work programme supports our growing county and invests in new active travel schemes to make it easier for people to choose to walk or cycle to their destinations.”
