Our highway network

At Warwickshire County Council, we are dedicated to maintaining the public highway within our region. We take care of a wide range of highway assets to ensure travel experiences are safe and efficient.

We inspect and maintain around:

  • 4,000 km of carriageway
  • 3,000 km of footway
  • 115,000 gullies
  • 1,160 structures (bridges, culverts, embankments, footbridge, pedestrian subway and retaining walls)
  • 53,000 street lights and an additional 8,000 illuminated assets such as signs or bollards
  • 160 signal-controlled junctions and 280 pedestrian crossings
  • 142,000 trees

For the major routes in Warwickshire, such as motorways and trunk roads, National Highways are responsible for their upkeep.
