A resurfacing project in a stretch of the M4 has been completed.

Evesham-based road planning specialist Jet Plant Hire recently finished night-time roadworks on the M4 motorway, working alongside long-term partner Associated Asphalt to deliver resurfacing across 12km of the eastbound carriageway.

Richard Lovell, contracts manager at Jet Plant Hire, said: "This has been a key project for Jet over the last couple of months.

"We partnered with Associated Asphalt, assisting their team in successfully delivering the high demand project as planned.

"Our planning services, support equipment and close coordination was absolutely vital in maintaining momentum throughout the project.

"We’re delighted to have completed the project and ensured a vital motorway continues to operate."

Works were carried out between 10pm and 5am to minimise disruption, with a three-hour planning window allowing time for surfacing, line marking, and the removal of traffic management before the strict morning deadline.

Approximately 21,000 tonnes of material were planed and transported for recycling or reuse.

Richard Bowling, area manager at Associated Asphalt, said: "Jet were fantastic partners throughout the M4 project.

"They approached every challenge with a positive, can-do attitude and never once complained about the large tonnages we needed removed within a very restricted working window.

"Their honesty, collaboration, and commitment helped us achieve excellent outputs."
