Route Problems and Issues
The Highways Agency gives priority to maintenance whilst minimising whole life costs. In developing its role as network operator, the HA would like to deal with problems and issues along the route in a manner that gives the greatest beneficial impact to users and communities along the route as well as to the five transport investment criteria of safety, environment, economy, accessibility and integration.
The HA as maintainer and operator of the M1 and M10 has a number of key objectives designed to support the Agency's strategic aim of contributing to sustainable development in support of integrated transport and land use policies.
These objectives are set in the construction and maintenance context of the Government's five investment criteria for transport and the responsibility that the HA now has, both to users and to communities along the route.
