Residents and road users across Broxtowe should expect a busy month on the district's roads as Nottinghamshire County Council, working with highways partner Via East Midlands, moves ahead with planned works for August under its record £181.25 million Highway Capital Maintenance Programme.
Where the work will take place
The month-ahead schedule published by the council lists machine-lay patching and surfacing work at several locations in and around Eastwood and neighbouring communities. Key local interventions include:
- B600 Willey Lane through Moorgreen, Selston, Greasley and Brinsley — machine-lay patching
- B600 Moorgreen and Church Road corridor between Greasley and Moorgreen — machine-lay patching
- Patch repairs on Main Street and Chewton Street in Eastwood — delivered by patching teams using new JCB Pothole Pro machines
These works sit alongside a countywide surface dressing programme, with more than 70 sites continuing through the summer.
New micro asphalt programme starts
August will also mark the start of Nottinghamshire's micro asphalt surfacing programme. Micro asphalt is a preventative maintenance treatment: a thin bitumen mix is applied to create a new wearing layer over the existing surface. It is typically used on residential roads that are structurally sound to help prevent water ingress and to reduce the likelihood of potholes and cracking, thereby extending the life of the carriageway.
Further information and an explainer video about how micro surfacing works are available on the council's highways site at nottshighways.co.uk/micro.
Local context and recent work
The August schedule follows resurfacing completed last month on a number of Broxtowe roads. Recent works included resurfacing on both lanes of Plumptre Way and Raglan Street in Eastwood, and the full length of Regent Street in Kimberley. The programme aims to keep roads safer, reduce congestion and support long‑term transport efficiency across the district.
| Road | Type of work |
|---|---|
| B600 Willey Lane | Machine-lay patching |
| B600 Moorgreen / Church Road | Machine-lay patching |
| Main Street, Eastwood | Patching repairs |
| Chewton Street, Eastwood | Patching repairs |
For drivers and residents this means there may be temporary lane closures, traffic management and short delays while crews work. The council says the programme forms part of the 2026–27 capital maintenance investment for highways across Nottinghamshire.
Anyone seeking detailed timings or site-specific information for the month’s programme should consult the county highways webpages where maps and the micro-surfacing explainer are published.
Local road users are advised to allow extra time for journeys where works are planned and to follow signage and instructions from traffic management personnel at the sites.
