The full list of major road improvements for the county to be carried out during 2025 to 2026 are included in the Highways Capital programme document. We intend to invest more than £4 million during 2025 to 2026 to resurface 24 sections of road across the county.
The full list of sites we will surface dress is listed below, including the address, location and electoral division will be published soon.
Resurfacing
Resurfacing is more extensive structural maintenance. It can involve removing several centimetres of worn out road surface and replacing it with new material and rolling it out to give a smooth surface.
If a road has deteriorated too much – the fundamental structure of the road is in too poor a condition – it will be considered for resurfacing or more extensive work when the road can be made a priority for funding.
Resurfacing takes much longer. Often the road has to be closed completely and traffic diverted meaning longer journey times and potentially more congestion.
We intend to invest more than £5 million during 2024 to 2025 to resurface 31 sections of road across the county. The sites include:
- Alfreton, Abbott Road

Our contractors will put up yellow signs giving the dates and times of each job. Where possible we'll try to minimise disruption by working outside of key travel times. If we need to close the roads, diversions will be in place. To find out exact times and dates please visit One Network and search for the road you're interested in.
The following roads will be resurfaced in May 2024:
