The Department for Transport has written to highway authorities in England, outside London, and the wider highway sector, to highlight the importance of continuing with (a) maintenance and (b) new projects where works can be undertaken safely and in accordance with the Public Health England and relevant safety operating procedure guidance. It is for each highway authority to decide on what level of works can be undertaken, working closely with their contractors and supply chain.
