Improving the Island’s highway network

Since 2013, we have rebuilt or resurfaced over 559 kilometres of highway Islandwide from the busiest main road to the quieter rural roads.  We are also responsible for the maintenance and management of this constantly improving network, undertaking functions including winter maintenance, street sweeping, amenity grass cutting, verge maintenance, gulley cleansing and operating the CCTV network.

It is the largest engineering project ever undertaken on the Island and as well as making major highway improvements, we are also boosting the economy by creating jobs and millions of pounds worth of trade for scores of local businesses.

With around 200 Island employees, we are also active in supporting the local community through our volunteer programme and also the Isle of Wight Foundation – made up of partners behind the PFI – which has donated nearly a million pounds to local good causes.
