Bridges
A bridge is a structure which carries the highway over a river,
railway or another road, or, carries a railway or road over the
highway.
We are responsible for maintaining over 400 bridge structures
within the Peterborough Area. These include bridges, footbridges
and subways.
There are also other bridge owners/authorities, the largest
being:
The bridge usually belongs to the organisation (or its
successor) that originally had cause to require the bridge. In some
cases ownership of bridges has been transferred, such as when the
responsibility for a route changes.
Current Schemes
Occasionally, we will need to carry out more major
works. We will keep you informed by listing the details on our
bridge schemes
page.

Drainage
We are responsible for maintaining the gullies (drains) on the
public roads and footways.
Gullies are sometimes referred to as drains or pots and they are
usually found at the side of the road near the kerb. They remove
surface water from the Highway and they feed into the main drains.
Sometimes there are gullies within verges or within footways at the
side of the road.

responcible for and how to report a problem, please see our
