 Wet weather affecting resurfacing schedule
Our first round of asphalt preservation works began last week on School Road in Barkham. It's a cost-effective preventative treatment, which adds protection to the road surface.
Heavy rainfall this week is causing delay with works on Beechwood Road being postponed until later this month. Works are due to take place in Finchampstead this week on Wellingtonia Ave, Jubilee Road and Nine Mile Road. These works will be weather dependent and any changes to the schedule will be posted on our Traffic and Traffic Facebook page, as well as on the advanced warning boards on site.
The full resurfacing phase of our annual maintenance programme continues this month with works due to take place on Basingstoke Road in Riseley on 7 to 8 August between the Bull Inn and Westbourne House.
Full resurfacing is a more extensive treatment, which involves removing layers of a worn out road surface and replacing this with new material.
Details of the full resurfacing schedule can be found on our website. As always, works are weather dependent and subject to change but the signage on site of the works will display up to date information if changes do occur.
