Cambridgeshire drivers can expect smoother journeys ahead as over £59 million has been allocated for road, pathway, and bridge repairs across the county in 2025. Cambridgeshire County Council has unveiled a detailed plan outlining which roads will receive priority resurfacing and structural work.
Councillor Alex Beckett, chair of the highways and transport committee, highlighted the significance of this investment, emphasizing the administration’s commitment to improving travel conditions. A large portion of the budget—£28.7 million—will be dedicated to structural and preventative work on carriageways, aiming to reduce potholes and long-term damage. An additional £7.2 million has been allocated for pathway and cycleway maintenance.
Other key areas of funding include:
- £3.1 million for bridge strengthening
- £735,000 for maintaining rights of way
- £500,000 for signs and line replacements (with an additional £350,000 in the revenue budget)
