1. Summary

This report covers Highway Structural Maintenance (HSM) and Bridge Assessment and Strengthening (BAS), giving a progress report for 2010/11 and outlining the programme for 2011/12. The report also gives an indication of the technical assessment methods which have been used to determine how the funding should be allocated.

2. Background

(i) Since 1992 HSM and BAS has been funded as part of the supported capital programme.

The HSM and BAS programmes have the objectives of achieving sustainable maintenance of strategic routes and strengthening the highway to carry 44 tonne vehicles, which have been allowed to travel on the country's roads since 1999. Targeting and carrying out this maintenance effectively and efficiently, whilst integrating policies for freight, public transport, walking and cycling, will enable the County Council to demonstrate that it applies the principles of good asset management to all its highway and transport assets that are needed to meet the objectives of the Devon Local Transport Plan (DLTP). A well maintained highway network is an essential requirement for the successful delivery of Devon County Council's Strategic Plan 2009 - 2013, in particular the pledges to reduce the number of potholes by 30%, and maintain 96% of A roads and 90% of B roads in good condition, by 2013. The ability to efficiently transport people and goods around the County underpins Devon's economy and has a direct impact on the quality of our environment.

In recognition of their importance to the economy, the strategy first gave emphasis to principal roads, but from 2003 the non-principal road recovery programme was designed to address the considerable challenge of maintaining the 11,800 km of non principal classified and unclassified roads in the County in a way that was affordable and would meet the objectives of the DLTP.

(ii) The Devon Citizen's Survey indicates that the standard of maintenance on some parts of the network still falls below the reasonable expectation of road users.

(iii) The last two winters (and this one so far) have been more severe in terms of adverse weather events than any in the last 30 years. The effects are felt not just in the cost of dealing with the events as they arise in their immediate aftermath but also in serious ongoing attrition of the surface and structure of the County's highways. Members will already have observed an increase in potholes breaking out. With waterlogged and frozen ground and continuing low temperatures this problem is expected to increase substantially over the next few months. The current year's maintenance budgets have been put under great strain as a result of this year's weather. Its consequences will continue to cause severe problems in 2011/12.

(iv) The reduction in the 2011/12 revenue maintenance budget has a significant implication for planned and preventative maintenance, and this will impact on the work delivered via this capital allocation.

(v) Every year an assessment is made of relative maintenance priorities to determine minimum funding for essential services. The detailed allocations are made on a relative needs basis using inventory information and taking account of highway condition survey data from the Council's Pavement Management System.

3. Strategy

(i) The condition of roads is assessed using best value performance indicators specified by Government and local performance indicators. Road surface condition is measured using the SCANNER (Surface Condition of the National Network of Roads) device which detects defects like rutting, cracking and bumpiness. This is the current state of the art in automated road condition surveys. The score processed from the survey estimates the percentage of the network requiring maintenance and is the basis of the reporting of the National Indicators, as shown in Table 1 below.

Skidding resistance is another factor that has an influence on road safety. Table 1 also includes the local indicator for Principal roads where skidding resistance does not need to be investigated.

Table 1 Summary of Condition of Classified Roads

Indicator	2005/06 %	2006/07 %	2007/08 %	2008/09 %	2009/10 %	Provisional 2010/11 %
NI 168 SCANNER Principal Roads Percentage of the network requiring treatment	6	6	4	4	5	4
NI 169 SCANNER Non Principal Classified Roads Percentage of the network requiring treatment	8	15	10	10	14	14
Local Indicator SA2(b) Skidding resistance Percentage of the Principal Road network where skidding resistance does not need to be investigated.	80	83	79	90	93	96

(ii) Devon's Strategic Plan 2009-2013 includes the following pledges:

to reduce the number of potholes by 30% by 2013 (baseline 2010);

96% of A roads and 90% of B roads will be in good condition by 2013.

Currently, approximately 130,000 potholes that are considered to be a potential safety defect have been found this year (since 1^st April 2010). Recent events indicate that this will be significantly exceeded by year end. A reduction of 30% in the number by 2013 would require significant maintenance work of both a reactive and preventative nature, mainly in the form of permanent pothole repairs, patching and surface dressing work.

(iii) The combination of revenue budget reductions, construction inflation and the effect of the severe weather mean that the County Council will face significant challenges to its ability to manage the network in the coming year. The examination of relative priorities indicates a series of pressures. Although, where possible and appropriate, certain maintenance operations formerly funded from revenue will be financed from the capital settlement for highway structural maintenance, it must be remembered that this capital allocation is expected by the Department for Transport to be additional to highway authority revenue budgets and not used as an alternative. Nevertheless, pressure on the revenue budget forces the proposal to finance all reconstruction, surfacing, surface dressing and some patching from capital, leaving some planned patching as the only structural maintenance funded from revenue.

The strategic pledge relating to the condition of A & B roads will be addressed by implementing suitable annual programmes of structural maintenance works. The choice of treatment and location of the works will be selected by applying good asset management principles, using the Council's Pavement Management System to achieve best value for money in enabling the Council to help to meet its pledges and also manage the condition of the rest of the network.

Long term investment needs to achieve defined outcomes in terms of the condition of Devon's highway network and have been calculated by using a financial model developed by the Council's consultants, WDM Ltd. To summarise, it shows that an average annual investment of 50-60 million would be required for all types of structural maintenance (resurfacing and strengthening) to maintain all classes of road in the same condition as they are now, expressed as the percentage of A, B, C class and unclassified roads in need of repair. This is clearly considerably in excess of the amount the Council has available for the purpose now or in the foreseeable future.

With an average annual spend on road structural maintenance at a more realistic level of approximately 30 million, at 2010 prices, over the 15 years of Devon's third Local Transport Plan, 2011 2026 (in line with the actual 2010/11 spend) the money left after funding the pledge for A and B roads will be insufficient to prevent a significant deterioration in C class and unclassified (U/C) roads.

	Length (km)	2011 condition indicator: Percentage in need of repair or condition "red"	Average annual investment million	2026 condition indicator: Percentage in need of repair or condition "red"

(iv) The Cumbrian floods alerted all local authorities to the strategic importance of highway bridges and structures, their contribution to maintaining communities, and their potential vulnerability when subject to extreme conditions. This has highlighted the need to ensure that limited budgets are focussed on key areas, through effective asset management.

Significant progress has been made in gathering data as part of the Transport Asset Management Plan, enabling prioritisation of project work on structures to be identified in most areas. An increasing amount of data has now been gathered relating to the condition of the County's highways structures both bridges and more recently retaining walls. The condition of these structures is determined in accordance with national guidelines for inspection and assessment resulting in the calculation of an overall Structure Stock Condition Performance Indicator (SSCPI). The current condition of highway structures based on information collected to date is set out below.

Table 3 Summary of Condition of Bridges and Structures

Condition
SSCPI category	Poor	Fair	Good	Excellent
SSCPI range	40 to 64	65 to 84	85 to 94	94 to 100
Average score of Bridges stock			92
Average score of Retaining Walls stock		70

This has highlighted the disparity between the general condition of bridges and retaining walls, and has influenced the decision to prioritise budgets to improve the condition of retaining walls over the coming years in order to address this imbalance. The Asset Management Plan, currently under development, will set service levels for both individual structures and the structure stock as a whole. Currently, repairs are required to 1,455 retaining walls and 689 bridges to raise them to the 'Good' category.

The key priority in recent years has been to ensure that all structures on the principal road network are assessed and considered for upgrading to meet the 44 tonne gross vehicle weight capacity. Strengthening works to bridges on lesser categories of highway are being prioritised to be consistent with the maintenance principles adopted for the whole highway network. Currently 240 bridges have some strength deficiency and, where appropriate, are being managed using a risk-based approach.

With extreme weather events, particularly flooding, becoming more frequent there is an increasing need to carry out scour protection works to structures. Flood resilience has been enhanced at 8 vulnerable bridges during 2010 and the programme of prioritisation and protection will continue.

Work continues on the assessment of older structures, predominantly arches, where historic definitions of load bearing capacities have come into question following changes in design standards. These structural assessments are necessary to help identify and prioritise essential works and to best maintain and improve the condition of the bridge stock, and include a number of County-owned bridges spanning live railways.

The programme arising from the risk ranking of all bridge parapets continues with mitigation works on high priority sites due for completion this year and further sites programmed for next year. This includes protection works at road/rail proximity sites in conjunction with Network Rail.

A renewal and maintenance programme has been put in place as a result of last year's programme to inspect and assess essential bridge components, particularly bearings and joints.

4. Analysis

(i) Principal Roads

Within the Council's Strategic Plan 2009 - 2013, there is a pledge to maintain 96% of 'A' (principal) roads in good condition. This equates to a target for the national indicator, NI 168, for the proportion of principal roads where maintenance should be considered of 4%, which is to say a network that is not perfect but is in steady state and generally fit for purpose, meeting user expectations. Condition has been stabilised at this level, enabling more money to be invested in the non principal roads, where the need is also apparent. However, with 26% of the principal network in condition "amber" as measured by the SCANNER surveys, that is, showing some signs of deterioration but not yet in need of major maintenance, continued investment and careful management will be required to ensure this performance can be achieved and sustained.

On Principal roads, the recovery strategy takes account of safety, serviceability and strength. The highest priority is given to safety, indicated by deficient skid resistance, and eradicating failed areas helps the Council to meet DLTP Objective 3 'Making roads safer'.

The prioritisation of schemes is based on a Value for Money Index which has been developed to take account of the effectiveness of the schemes in helping to achieve the overall road condition performance targets.

A key aim is also to be able to increase the proportion of preventative rather than reactive maintenance works undertaken, providing best value in the longer term. During 2010/11 the Council continued a preventative maintenance strategy on principal roads, allocating 1.95m to preparatory patching and surface dressing. SCANNER data is being used to target sites where surface dressing can provide a cost effective remedy to immediate defects and enhance the longer term life of the road pavement improving skidding resistance and sealing to prevent ingress of water, and help to further stabilise NI168.

(ii) Non Principal Roads

On non-principal classified roads (B and C roads) the 2009/10 SCANNER survey showed that 14% should be considered for planned maintenance soon (NI169). Non-principal classified roads comprise both B and C roads and the survey shows that 5% of B roads and 16% of C roads should be considered for maintenance. The 5% performance on B roads equates to 95% in good condition, which exceeds the Council's target for such roads in the Strategic Plan of 90%.

The Non Principal Road Recovery Strategy has been used to target important routes to settlements of over 500 population and linking communities, roads serving industrial estates, urban local distributor routes, and pre-salting routes not covered by the above. Since 2003/04 over 1,000 schemes covering 830km of carriageway have been completed. This strategy is helping to deliver a Strategic Plan objective of "connecting with the Devon Communities", and will complete the link with winter service objectives, and the strategic target for B roads.

This strategy has so far tended to concentrate efforts on the non-principal classified network and limited funds have been available for structural maintenance on the rest of the minor road network. The reactive defect repair regime and adherence to the cyclical maintenance regime keeps the unclassified network usable, safe and generally fit for purpose, although this will be difficult to sustain with the revenue reductions. Where these routes are suitable for surface dressing this type of repair will be undertaken in association with the required preparatory patching.

The strategy above will continue to be developed and will be subject to some local flexibility and "common sense" variation to treated lengths.

5. HSM and BAS Programmes 2010/11

The HSM and BAS LTP settlement for 2010/11 was 31.789 million. 257k for repair works on the A361/A39 North Devon Link/Atlantic Highway, was also brought forward from 2009/10.

Appendix I shows progress with the HSM programme for 2010/11.

Appendix II shows progress with the BAS programme for 2010/11.

6. HSM and BAS Programmes for 2011/12

Devon's allocation for 2011/12 is 36.833 million.

It is proposed to allocate the available funding to HSM and BAS as outlined in Appendix III and Appendix IV.

This includes:

(i) HSM Principal Roads:

6.7m to specific larger schemes with a high Value for Money Index. These schemes will rectify 30.4km of carriageway with potential skidding defects and problems identified by the SCANNER survey.

3.3 on surface dressing and preparatory patching works. This will surface dress 75km of carriageway in 2011/12 and prepare for the 2012 dressing programme.

Both will target "red" and "amber" SCANNER data and help to further stabilise NI168 and contribute to the County Council's Strategic Plan pledges.

(ii) HSM Non-Principal Roads:

15.6 million has been allocated to make further progress on the Non Principal Road Recovery Strategy and to undertake preparatory patching and surface dressing on local roads to compensate for reductions that have had to be made in the 2011/12 revenue budget for this type of work, as detailed in a separate report to the Cabinet. This will help support the adjustment in the maintenance functions in the revenue budget and will aid NI 169 by treating carriageway with high levels of red and amber SCANNER defects and improve their surface condition.

(iii) Footways

Due to revenue budget restrictions general upgrades to footways will be only those funded by the allocation in this budget. Footways will be kept in a condition that is reasonably safe and commensurate with established usage.

(iv) Structures

Key elements of the 2011/12 BAS programme include:

Works valued at 700,000 will complete the contract to strengthen a retaining wall and cantilevered walkway adjacent to the A386 near Bideford Longbridge.

Further works valued at 1,085,000 are proposed as part of an ongoing programme to replace or strengthen highway retaining walls in order to address the disparity between the relatively good condition of the County's bridges and moderate condition of its retaining walls supporting the highway.

The replacement programme for limited life components of more modern bridges including bearings and movement joints will continue to be implemented especially for bridges on the A361 North Devon Link Road.

The asset management of all highways structures will continue to be developed by gathering further data and carrying out structural assessments in order to obtain a more detailed knowledge of the condition of the asset, and to allow a more integrated approach to prioritisation to be taken for the whole highway network.

(v) Street Lighting and Traffic Signals

A replacement programme for streetlight columns which have deteriorated through age will continue in association with work to reduce carbon footprint generated by Devon's streetlights, however, due to limited funding such work will be prioritised and there may be instances where deteriorated columns are removed and not replaced until such time as funding becomes available. The opportunity will be taken, where possible, to switch lanterns to part night lighting after consultation with Members and the police.

A significant proportion of Devon's traffic signal equipment is approaching the end of its design life, and the Transport Asset Management Plan will programme its replacement. This will include the use of LED signal aspects, and extra low voltage systems, which have the benefits of greater light integrity, reduced power consumption, and consequently reduced revenue expenditure and carbon emissions.

7. Sustainability Considerations

When maintenance work is undertaken it is managed to ensure that the effect on the surrounding environment is kept to a minimum. On carriageways, surface treatment and reconstruction work is tightly controlled to achieve long term durability. Recycled materials and secondary aggregates are used whenever possible and a recycling strategy has been adopted to promote this. A specific programme of recycling work was completed in 2010/11 and this will continue. All planings will be reused in the County's highway network. When surfacings incorporating primary materials are required, a durable low noise material such as stone mastic asphalt is considered.

8. Equality Considerations

No direct implications due to the capital budget at this time, but see the revenue report (EEC/11/37/HQ) for implications following the reduction in revenue budgets.

9. Legal Considerations

No direct implications at this time.

10. Risk Management Considerations

The proposals contained in this report have been assessed and all reasonable actions are taken to safeguard the Council's position.

The reduction in the revenue budget has significant implications for this capital allocation. Inability to undertake enough planned and general preventative maintenance work will result in an increased depreciation to the highways asset. This will lead to increased deterioration and defects and as a consequence safety will be compromised and third party claims may increase.

Where risks have been identified such as those associated with cost inflation or inclement weather, which could disrupt the capital programme by causing higher than anticipated costs or delays respectively, the implications have been taken into account in preparing this report. This includes the provision for reasonable contingencies in the estimates for capital highway and bridge maintenance schemes.

The corporate risk registers have been updated as appropriate.

11. Options

The programme for 2011/12 optimises the use of the available funding to maximise repair work on the network. Any reduction in the programme would further compromise the County Council's ability to maintain the network in a reasonably safe condition and work towards the objectives of the DLTP, and the Council's Strategic Plan.

12. Reasons for Recommendation/Conclusion

The DfT capital settlement for 2011/12 provides funding at appropriate levels to achieve the long term plan and gives further opportunity to help address the current backlog of outstanding highway maintenance work on both Principal and non Principal roads. However, this must be seen as the continuation of a recovery programme towards a return to steady state maintenance on all routes serving the communities of Devon. It is also important that the capital funding for highway maintenance from central government is supported by a robust revenue allocation, as the commitment by the County Council is being monitored in this respect and could influence future capital settlements.
