Roadways had total control of the process, using its in-house plant, logistics, and specialist crews for real-time programme adaptability. Across 31 hand lay and paver surfacing shifts between October and March 2026, Roadways adjusted production schedules (sometimes on less than 24-hours notice) to help and align with site readiness and programme changes, ensuring working windows were exploited rather than missed.
Roadways delivered 4,000 tonnes of asphalt material laid with zero defects or remedial works. Given the public-facing nature of the works, expectations around presentation and durability were also high, with the finished surfaces forming a key part of the overall scheme.
The nature of the scheme presented a series of technical and environmental challenges. Varying build-ups across the site, combined with the need to tie into existing assets, required continuous verification of levels and careful management of drainage performance and ride quality.
