S278/S38 highway works for local authorities

Adoptable highway works delivered directly for local authorities and developers, from technical approval through to adoption.

Adoptable highway works for local authorities and developers

New estate roads and junction alterations have to be built to adoptable standard and signed off by the local highway authority before they pass into public ownership. Lawday delivers this work directly for local authorities and developers, managing S278 and S38 agreements from technical approval through to final adoption.
Our S278 schemes at Tenterden and Manston Road, delivered in close coordination with Kent County Council, are typical examples – live highway works built to the standard the authority requires, with the inspection records to prove it.
