The upgrade work will cost a total of £4.9m to implement. The work will be carried out over the next 12 months and will include:
- Extensive road resurfacing
- Road surface treatments
- White line painting
- Safety improvements such as barriers at the side of the road
- New signage Renew key route signage along the length to improve wayfinding
- Improved drainage systems to help cope with higher volumes of surface water and reduce flooding
Benefits & Outcomes
The principle objective of the scheme bid is to reset the lifecycle of the A509 to year 0 so that it will enable the authority to manage the road into the future in line with its new Highway Asset Management Strategy (HAMS) and that it can accommodate and withstand the projected growth of Milton Keynes into the next two decades. Implementing this preventative approach would deliver the following benefits and outcomes.
- Improved carriageway surface to increase skid resistance and eradicate potholes
- Mitigate flooding through improved drainage
- Upgrade lighting to improve safety and reduce energy costs and emissions
- Improve carriageway visibility through lining and new road studs
- Bring traffic islands and signing up to current standards, replacing damaged assets
