National Highways

National Highways is the government company which plans, designs, builds, operates and maintains England’s motorways and major A roads, known as the strategic road network (SRN). Its 4,500 miles of motorways and major A roads are at the core of our national transport system. Its many arteries connect our major towns and cities, ensure commuters make it to work every day, and help millions of us visit our friends and families.

As one of the most advanced road networks in the world, the SRN drives economic growth across the country, creating jobs, supporting businesses and opening up areas for development. We aim to provide all our customers with safe and reliable journeys, and to deliver a sustainable benefit to the environment.

Everything we do, from designing our roads to clearing incidents, helps keep traffic moving 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
