What we bring to Dorset

Dorset Highways manages over 2,400 miles of roads, as well as being responsible for everything associated with the highways which includes things like bridges, cycleways, footpaths, street lighting, road signs, traffic lights and speed limits. Our team has many responsibilities but some of these are to improve road safety, implement highway improvements, facilitating new developments, and support all our customer needs.  
We are focused on delivering improvements schemes that make it easier for residents, visitors, and business to access and enjoy Dorset. One of those developments is the changes to Custom House Quay in Weymouth which has transformed the area and stimulated the economy. Further to this, works in south east Dorset have helped enable sustainable travel choices, with people feeling they can now walk or cycle in a safe environment.
