Most drivers never see it happen, but some of the most important road surfacing work takes place while the rest of us are asleep. Nighttime surfacing is a carefully planned process that ensures Hertfordshire’s roads remain smooth, safe, and functional — without causing daytime disruption.

Why Work at Night?

Carrying out road surfacing during the night minimises traffic disruption, especially on busy commuter routes. It allows crews to work faster and more efficiently while ensuring safety for both workers and road users.

The Process Behind the Scenes

• Planning & Preparation: Traffic management systems are put in place before work begins.

• Lighting & Safety: High-powered lighting rigs ensure visibility and precision.

• Surfacing: Crews lay, compact, and smooth materials such as tarmac or asphalt with minimal downtime.

• Clean-Up: Roads are cleared and ready for use by the early morning rush.

Benefits for Communities

• Reduced traffic congestion

• Safer conditions for drivers and workers

• Faster project completion
