Supporting the Safer Roads Scheme With Tarmac Hot Boxes

With the Department of Transport introducing the Safer Roads fund, work is well underway on treating the 50 highest risk local A road sections in England. A big part of this project involves resurfacing high risk roads, such as the A161 in North Lincolnshire. In order for these projects to be a success, it’s important to equip yourself with the very best equipment and here at ND Brown, we can supply that in the form of Tarmac Hot Boxes. In today’s article, we’ll be exploring the Safer Roads fund and how our HGV hire range can help.

What Is The Safer Roads Scheme?

The Safer Roads Fund was introduced by the Department of Transport in order to treat the 50 highest risk local A road sections in England. It was decided that for the safety of their users, each needed remedial road safety engineering interventions. The total investment put forward is £100 million across 48 different schemes.

The hope is that these schemes will work together to prevent around 1,450 fatal and serious injuries over the next 20 years. The value of prevention of the schemes is £550 million which when compared with the whole life cost of the treatments (£125 million), results in a Benefit to Cost ratio of 4.4. With this in mind, for every £1 that is invested, £4.40 is returned in the shape of benefit to the society. As a part of this project, the organisers committed to improving 70 miles worth of road surfaces across the country and the A161 in North Lincolnshire is a fine example. Starting next week, resurfacing work will be carried out between Graizelound and junction A18 near Ealand.
