S278 Works
Section 278 Highway Works, referred to as S278 Works, is a segment within the Highways Act 1980 which allows developers to enter legal agreements with local councils. The S278 agreement is required for developers to make modifications to public highways for construction projects and grant planning approval.
As leading London-based UK civil engineering design firm, ENR Consulting Engineers have amassed a wealth of experience on S278 Highway Design, producing designs appropriate for existing design guides and Highways Authority requirements.
For modifications in public spaces such as access design, widening roads, pedestrian crossings, installing traffic signals, footpath or cycle lane provision and junction alterations, ENR Consulting Engineers provide detailed final design drawings which are submitted to the Highway Authority to complete a Section 278 Agreement.
