Portsmouth's highways maintenance expenditure is delivered primarily through a long-term Highways PFI arrangement which combines routine maintenance, lifecycle replacement and asset renewals into a single integrated service. Total expenditure includes the maintenance and renewal of a broad range of highway assets including carriageways, footways, structures, drainage, street lighting and highway electrical assets. This funding profile may therefore differ from authorities operating under more traditional highways maintenance delivery models.
