Written Question
Road Works
Tuesday 3rd September 2024

Asked by: Paula Barker (Labour - Liverpool Wavertree)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an estimate of the proportion of the road network that was restricted due to (a) roadworks and (b) closures on 22 July 2024.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

My Department does not collect information on road closures and we are not able to make an assessment of the proportion of the road network that was restricted. Roads are managed by either National Highways or local highway authorities, depending on the road in question.

The Department does hold data on the number of utility street and authority road works carried out in England via its Street Manager service for planning and managing works. The latest data available is for June 2024 which showed that 172,753 number of works took place that month.
