What happened
Civil engineering contractor Associated Asphalt has completed a major maintenance programme on the M40 corridor between Oxford and Warwick. The company invested in a new asphalt plant in Yarnton, Oxford, which has a production capacity of 100,000t of asphalt annually. This plant supported the work under the M40 Design, Build, Finance and Operate contract between UK Highways and National Highways. The programme involved targeted pavement repairs, utilizing 10mm Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) for the resurfacing.

Why it matters
The successful completion of the maintenance programme marks the latest phase of a partnership between Associated Asphalt and UK Highways. The company stated the plant helped minimize the carbon footprint of the scheme and reduced vehicle movements on the Strategic Road Network. The overall UK Highways 30-year DBFO contract for the London-to-Birmingham M40 is due to conclude in early 2027.
