Road Dressing Scheme to Improve Island's Roads

Road Re-Surfacing Scheme to Improve Safety of Roads

The Department of Infrastructure have launched their yearly tar and chip surface dressing scheme.

The overall aim of the annual work is to improve the surface and texture of the Island’s roads.

It also improves road safety improving skid resistance on the road surface.

It’s seen as one of the most cost effective forms of highway maintenance.
 
Approximately 14 and half miles of highway – equating to 2.5% of the road network – will be surface dressed this summer. This year’s budget for surface dressing is £410,000.
