Planned carriageway and footway works
Residents can view planned carriageway and footway improvement schemes using our interactive works map.
The map shows the location of planned works across the highway network, along with a unique reference number for each scheme.
When contacting us about the scheme, residents can quote the reference number to help us identify the work quickly and respond to enquiries more efficiently.
The map is updated regularly, providing the latest information on planned highway improvements across Cumberland.
How we prioritise highway maintenance
We use highway condition data to identify where maintenance is needed and where investment will have the greatest benefit.
This information helps us assess the condition, safety and performance of roads, footways and other highway assets across the network.
When deciding which schemes to prioritise, we consider several factors, including:
- road condition
- safety risks
- traffic levels
- network resilience
- the importance of a route to local communities
We also consider how routes support public transport, cycling, access to schools, tourism and local businesses.
The highest-priority schemes are reviewed to ensure the most appropriate treatment is selected and that funding is used effectively.
Maintenance programmes are then planned and coordinated with other works wherever possible. This helps reduce disruption, avoid unnecessary roadworks and make the best use of available resources.
By using condition data and a risk-based approach, we can target investment where it is needed most, improve safety, extend the life of highway assets and deliver better value for residents.
