Opening address: From Boom to Legacy: Keeping the UK’s Strategic Road Bridges Built to Last

09:35 - 09:55

Much of the strategic road network’s bridge stock was built in a single post-war boom and is now ageing at the same time. Peter Hill sets out how National Highways is planning to keep these structures safe and serviceable for decades to come.

  • How the age profile of the network shapes investment and intervention priorities
  • Balancing renewal, maintenance and life extension across a large portfolio
  • What National Highways needs from the supply chain to deliver its plans
