We hope that you will find this webpage an easy and convenient way to learn more about what is happening on the project.
Introduction
At the Highways Agency we are committed to keeping traffic moving and ensuring the safety of our road-users on England's motorway and trunk road network against a growing demand for road travel. Our Traffic Officer service is one area within our Network Operator role helping us to achieve our commitment by delivering improved journey times and customer safety. We are intending to enhance our operating capability by securing a vehicle recovery service to support our Traffic Officers when dealing with incidents. This is an important step towards making a difference by clearing the motorways of stationary vehicles and loads quickly to keep traffic moving.
You can visit our Background Information page to learn more about the project.
