Greenwich Council has revealed the 26 roads that will undergo resurfacing in 2026 as part of a £3.65 million project. The South East London authority is investing heavily in highway improvements, with an additional three roads pending final confirmation for inclusion in the programme.
Investment and Protection Measures
The council has assured that no planned utility works will be carried out on these roads for a minimum of two years. This measure aims to safeguard the investment in local infrastructure. The selection of roads was based on a data-led approach to highway maintenance, prioritising roads according to their current condition.
Cllr Calum O’Byrne Mulligan, Greenwich Council’s Cabinet Member for Transport, Climate Change, Waste and Streets, stated: “We’re investing a record amount in our roads and pavements to keep Greenwich moving, more than doubling funding to get things done over the next four years.”
Benefits of the Project
He added: “Supported by a new road condition standard, this coming year will see full road resurfacings in every part of the borough. We know closures for works can be frustrating, but these essential improvements, once completed, will deliver clear benefits for all: safer, smoother, better roads which make it easier for everyone to get around.”

These roads are subject to improvement works by other council teams, and the authority is delaying confirmation to avoid clashes.
The council will inform residents about the start dates of each resurfacing scheme closer to the time via its website, social media, WhatsApp channels, and letters to affected residents.
