What is the Highways Agency?
The Highways Agency was established in 1994 to manage and maintain the trunk road network in England. In July 1998 the Government gave the Agency the wider strategic aim of "maintaining, operating and improving the network in support of the Government's integrated transport and land use planning policies".
With this new aim the Agency has extended its original role to become a network operator, focusing on a newly defined core network of strategically important routes in England. The Agency's priorities are to maintain, make best use of and improve the core network.
