Severe Weather Challenge – Keeping the Strategic Network Operational

 

Highways England deal with a huge and varied set of challenges each year to try and keep the motorway and key trunk network free from incidents and events that might prevent the economy, commuter and private travel in England from operating to its capacity. The biggest challenge is actually weather and especially severe (winter) weather.

 

Ever wondered just how much planning, monitoring and particularly the use of technology Highways England use to keep the network safe and trouble free?
