Road improvements scheduled to take place over the next 12 months across the borough of Trafford have begun. Some 192 road repair and improvement schemes kicked off in late July with "surface dressing treatments" on Chester Road A5104 in Old Trafford and Woodhouse Lane in Sale.
This year’s programme also includes resurfacing and reconstruction along sections of Edge Lane in Stretford, Moss Lane in Altrincham, and Chapel Lane in Partington. With more than 500 miles of the road network to maintain across Trafford, the programme uses a number of treatment methods depending on the needs of individual roads, say bosses.
Some roads will receive resurfacing and reconstruction treatment which consists of a new surface layer to improve the road condition. Other roads will receive surface dressing - a preventative treatment to waterproof the existing surface and provide additional skid resistance.
