Highway Works
(S278/S38)

Adoptable highway construction delivered under Section 278 and 38 agreements, working directly with local authority engineers from technical approval through to adoption.

S278 and S38 highway works, delivered to adoptable standard

New estate roads, junctions and connections built under Section 278 or Section 38 agreements have to satisfy the local highway authority’s technical approval process before, during and after construction. Lawday’s highway teams work directly with authority engineers from design coordination to final adoption, so schemes progress without unnecessary delay.
Our scope covers kerbing, sub-base, surfacing and road markings, together with traffic management and street lighting coordination – giving developers and local authorities a single, accountable contractor for the full adoptable highway package.
