The roads in and around the county are set for a multi-million pound makeover.
Hertfordshire County Council is giving hundreds of the most weather-worn residential roads a new £40 million lease of life.
Phil Bibby, Cabinet Member for Highways, said: “We know that the state of the county’s roads really matters to our residents.
“This programme will improve road surfaces and help head off potholes before they form.
“We’re investing nearly £40m in maintaining and improving our highways network this year.
“While we can’t do everything, this microsurfacing, along with other resurfacing work and the regular repairs we do, will make a real difference to roads across the county.”
A total of 135 residential roads have already had a makeover this spring using a method known as micro surfacing and 66 more will follow over the summer.
Microsurfacing involves spreading a thin layer of new road surface to seal the road from the elements, even out bumps and dips and restore grip.
