Surface dressing programme 2024/25
The following table lists essential carriageway surface dressing works which will be programmed to be delivered this financial year 2024/25 by Shropshire Council.
Surface dressing is a quick, efficient and cost-effective way of preventing potholes, maintaining skid-resistance and waterproofing road surfaces. It forms a major part of our annual road maintenance programme, and is being carried out alongside other preventative and reactive maintenance work.
Surface dressing involves applying and rolling aggregate ‘chippings’ onto a bitumen binder. It will seal the surface, improve surface texture and prolong the life of the road by many years.
These sites has been identified via a combination of local engineering judgment and asset management data as being in need of essential maintenance. The sites form part of a countywide programme of schemes, scheduled to deliver the work in the most efficient and cost-effective way.
The latest information on dates for the work can be found on the attached interactive map. The USRN number in the table below can be used in the search function on the interactive map to locate specific sites. You can also use the what3words 'From' and 'To' columns to pinpoint precise locations. Please note that some dates may change, depending on operational considerations and weather conditions.
If you have any questions relating to the schemes listed on this page, please contact Shropshire Highways via email: Highwaysconsultation@shropshire.gov.uk
