Midlands LED roadside lighting upgrades
We’re cutting carbon emissions in the Midlands by switching to cleaner LED lights. This will make our motorways and A-roads greener and more energy efficient.
LED upgrades in the Midlands
We'll retrofit most of the lighting in our Midlands region by March 2027. This will reduce energy consumption by up to 65%.
We’ve already upgraded over 70% of lights in the Midlands.
For safety, we may need lane, carriageway or full closures while we work.
