Major road maintenance works to commence this year

Denbighshire County Council will commence a major Welsh Government funded road maintenance programme this year.

The work across the county which will be spread over two years will be funded by a Welsh Government Local Government Borrowing Initiative (LGBI) to enable the programme to start.

This programme identified schemes for both 2025/26 and 2026/27 based on the total allocation of £4,780,699 for the two-year period from the Welsh Government.

The decision to approve the acceptance of the LGBI funding will allow Denbighshire’s Highways to commence work on the programme straight away which will greatly assist with being able to deliver this extensive programme of works during the optimum time for carriageway surfacing works.

Denbighshire County Council will be targeting this funding at improving the surface condition of carriageways on identified sections of the network during the two-year period of 2025-2027.

A programme of works has been developed to improve the carriageway surface on a number of roads in the County with significant investment planned at A525 Nany Y Garth pass, A547 Abergele Road near Rhuddlan and Ty Newydd Road in Rhyl.”

Cllr Barry Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport, said: “We know the improvement of the county’s road network is a topic that comes up regularly from our residents and we are grateful to have this additional Welsh Government funding to supplement our own funding to help improve our roads.

“Our officers have worked hard to produce a mass programme of full resurfacing of carriageways for this funding.

“The work that will be carried out on our roads over the next two years will really help improve the network and driving experience for both residents and visitors to Denbighshire.”

The Council will publish more information on when and where road networks in the council will benefit from this programme through our media channels going forward.
