The share of road infrastructure maintenance in the UK's total road infrastructure spending is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 11.96% in 2024, it decreases yearly, reaching 6.33% by 2028. This suggests a significant shift in allocation priorities within the sector, signaling a potential reduction in maintenance focus or an increased commitment to new developments. The average annual decrease (CAGR) over this period indicates intensified emphasis on enhancing and expanding infrastructure rather than maintaining current road networks.
Future trends to watch for include the UK's strategic plans for road infrastructure development, potential policy changes, budgetary allocations, and eco-friendly investments that might alter these forecasts, particularly under environmental pressures and economic considerations.
