Three-year highways scheme approved in Hull
The capital programme is designed to maintain and improve Hull's bridges, roads, and footpaths
Hull City Council's Cabinet has approved a three-year multi‑million‑pound highways scheme.
The capital programme is designed to maintain and improve Hull's bridges, roads, and footpaths.
£38.7million has been allocated for the first year of the project (2026/27) today (27 April).
The council say this money will help maintain and improve roads and footpaths, and deliver sustainable transport schemes.
The amount allocated for years two and three haven't been finalised yet, but the council say 'indicative allocations' have been made.
It's expected nearly £100 million will be spent in total.
Funding for the programme comes from the Government's Department for Transport, the Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority, Active Travel England, and the council's own capital budget.
"Developed to reflect residents’ priorities"
Angela Blake, assistant director of major projects and infrastructure at Hull City Council, said: “This programme has been developed to reflect residents’ priorities and the condition of the transport network, as well as to make it easier and safer for people to get around the city.
“By having a clear, long‑term plan in place, we can keep key routes reliable, maintain our highways to a high standard and deliver improvements that benefit communities across Hull.
“The programme will also support economic growth, improve access to jobs and services and help us move closer to our ambition of becoming a carbon‑neutral city by 2030, while supporting healthier, more active lives.”
