Did you know that the road network you use every day consists of approximately 1137km of roads with a value of approximately £744 million? That's a whole lot of road!

Investment

As a new town a lot of our roads are now over 40 years old including important business areas such as Birchwood. So to maintain Warrington’s business growth we launched a £40m investment programme which was delivered between 2016 and 2021. 

The £40m was allocated:

• £27.5m – strategic road network (A, B and C roads)
• £10m – side streets and unclassified roads improvement programme
• £2.5m – footway improvement programme

That Highway Investment Programme was completed in 2021.

Following on from the success of the first Highway Investment Programme, a further £9m investment is being made to continue improvement works to the unclassified road and footway networks over 3 to 4 years starting in 2024.
