Roadworks, road closures and road resurfacing

We invest money every year to treat and resurface the borough's roads.

The surfacing programme:

• tackles the backlog of the some of the worst road surfaces in Luton
• provides brand new road surfaces
• treats roads showing the first signs of deterioration

The tables below summarise the planned highway resurfacing and surface treatment works for 2026 to 2027.

Maintaining our roads

Luton’s main roads are in a fairly good condition. However 11% of Luton’s residential roads are deemed as needing resurfacing. 

In the five-year programme we plan to include all our main roads. Any other roads that need resurfacing will be assessed according to:

• their condition
• their location – roads with schools and bus routes may be considered a higher priority
