How highways are maintained

Learn how public highways in Suffolk are managed, inspected and maintained, and read our Highway Maintenance Operational Plan.

We work with Milestone Infrastructure as Suffolk Highways to maintain public highways.

Our aim is to make public highways safe and accessible. 

The Highway Maintenance Operational Plan sets out our approach to providing the highway maintenance service to meet our statutory duties. You can find more details on the Highway Maintenance Operational Plan page.

The Suffolk Highways Defect Response Matrices sets out an alternative method for identifying whether repairs are necessary for different types of highway defects and the timescales for completing repairs. Browse the document to see the categories of damage and respective timescales for repair, for each type of defect.

We rely on you letting us know of any problems on the highways in Suffolk.
