Works

Safety inspections

We carry out regular highway safety inspections: roads, footways and cycleways are inspected according to their strategic importance. For more information please see our Safety Inspection Manual.

Carriageway resurfacing

Our Maintaining Roads pages explain how we use our budget to keep our network in good condition.

In the ‘Progress on Works Programme’ section you can check for planned highway maintenance work on our interactive map.

The types of scheme shown on the map include capital expenditure for the current financial year such as resurfacing, patching, surface dressing, micro asphalt, joint or crack repair, high friction surfacing, drainage works and footway works.

An interactive map of Devon’s highway network including class and inspection frequency can be found in our Open Data pages.

Drainage

Our Flooding and Drainage pages provide an overview of the drainage features associated with our network and the policies we have in place to maintain them.

An interactive map of all Devon Highways drainage assets including buddle holes, catchpits, channels, culverts, ditches, easements, filter drains, fords, grips and manholes can be found in our Open Data pages.
