Road and footway works and maintenance
The city's roads and footways need regular maintenance to keep them safe and useable. Southampton City Council is responsible for maintaining the roads and pavements and we carry out planned roadworks at various locations across the city each year. The links on these pages give you the most up-to-date information about road and pavement works going on in the city.
