Subways, tunnels and other structures

There are important structures on the highway that we need to regularly maintain. These include:

  • subways
  • culverts
  • gantries
  • tunnels
  • viaducts
  • retaining walls
  • footbridges

How do we maintain highway structures?

We carry out two types of maintenance:

Operational maintenance

This is essential for the safety and operation of a structure. This may include:

  • clearing drainage systems
  • subway lighting
  • height and weight restriction signs

Routine maintenance

This is needed for normal wear and tear, and protects the structure over time. Typical work includes:

  • repainting
  • repointing
  • rewaterproofing
  • minor concrete repairs
  • resurfacing

Who is responsible for lights in subways?

This depends if the lighting is part of a wider system or just for the subway. If you notice a problem with subway lighting, you can contact us and we can tell you who is responsible.

Report a problem

If you notice a problem with one of the structures listed above, please tell us about it using the online fault reporting form - this link opens in a new window. You will require an e-mail address to complete an online report - if you do not have an e-mail address please call 08458 247 800.
