Work is underway on a programme to improve the condition, look and feel of the city’s roads - see the list here.
Between now and next spring, miles of road will be either treated or resurfaced to tackle potholes and wear and tear.
The work also includes refurbishing a dozen traffic signals.
This work is in addition to concrete road rehabilitation works taking place in the Bevendean area, which will be extended to include three more roads in October/November.
The councils says every road in the city is walked and inspected at least once every six months, with busier roads visited more frequently.
Once a road reaches the end of its life, the only option is to resurface it.
On main routes, the work may need to be carried out at night and take several days to complete, depending on the length and nature of the road.
The following roads are scheduled to be resurfaced.
• Falmer Road (The Vale to The Green)
• London Road (St Peters Place to Preston Circus)
• Preston Road (Cumberland Road to Tongdean Lane)
• Trafalgar Road junction with Victoria Road
• Warren Road
• Lewes Road junction with Coldean Lane
• Old Shoreham Road (Hangleton Link to Locks Hill)
The work on Lewes Road and Old Shoreham Road is being funded by National Highways following a successful bid for funding.
It also includes signal improvements and more signage along the A27 diversion route.
Several traffic signals have been replaced or will be in the coming weeks and months, with temporary traffic lights in operation while the work is carried out.
Work on these usually takes around two weeks, depending on the site.
Already completed:
• Hangleton Road/Elm Drive
• Davigdor Road/Holland Road/Cromwell Road
• The Drive/Upper Drive
• Church Road/Lincoln Road
In progress
• Western Road/Montpelier Road
• Hangleton Road/Clarke Avenue/Court Farm Road

Councillor Trevor Muten, Chair of the Transport and Sustainability committee said:
“It’s good to see that so much will be happening between now and next spring to really improve the condition our roads and remove potholes.
“Taking a long-term approach to road maintenance makes both financial and environmental sense and keeps the city moving.
“This work will extend the life of our roads, making them less likely to develop potholes in the future, which we know is a big annoyance to road users in Brighton & Hove and across the country."
