We’re excited to share that we’re trialling a new compressed air blower technology, funded by Priority One, to create areas called grips in the verge. These grips help standing water on the carriageway drain away, reducing the risk of potholes and cracks.
Why is this important? Standing water can cause significant damage to the road surface, leading to more potholes and cracks. By using this innovative technology, we aim to improve road conditions, especially as we head into the winter and rainy months.
With these grips in place, we hope to see less water on the roads, providing you with safer and smoother driving conditions.
